1. Start with the equation:  
   $$
   t + 13.9 = -4.3
   $$

2. Isolate $$ t $$ by subtracting $$ 13.9 $$ from both sides:
   $$
   t = -4.3 - 13.9
   $$

3. Perform the subtraction to simplify:
   $$
   -4.3 - 13.9 = -18.2
   $$
   So,
   $$
   t = -18.2
   $$

4. Check the solution by substituting $$ t = -18.2 $$ back into the original equation:
   $$
   -18.2 + 13.9 = -4.3
   $$

5. Simplify the left-hand side:
   $$
   -18.2 + 13.9 = -4.3
   $$

Since the left-hand side equals the right-hand side, the solution is verified.

The final solution is:
$$
t = -18.2
$$
$$ t = -18.2 $$
