Answer:

t = 3/16

Explanation:

Solve the proportion fraction numerator 15 t over denominator 5 end fraction equals fraction numerator 2 t plus 3 over denominator 6 end fraction

From the above question, we are to solve for t

The above expression is written Mathematically as:

15t/5 = 2t + 3/6

We cross Multiply

15t(6) = 5(2t + 3)

90t = 10t + 15

Collect like terms

90t - 10t = 15

80t = 15

t = 15/80

t = 3/16
