Question

Given the equation p=s1 t-s2 t , which equation is solved for t?

Answer 1

`t=(p)/((s_1-s_2))`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`p=s_1t-s_2t`. We are asked to solve our given equation for t.

First of all, we will factor out t from right side of our given equation as:

`p=t(s_1-s_2)`

Now, we will switch sides as:

`t(s_1-s_2)=p`

Finally, we will divide both sides of our equation by
`(s_1-s_2)`.

`(t(s_1-s_2))/((s_1-s_2))=(p)/((s_1-s_2))`

`t=(p)/((s_1-s_2))`

Therefore, the value of t for our given equation would be
`(p)/((s_1-s_2))`.

Answer 2

`t=(p)/(s_1-s_2)`

Explanation:

Assuming the "1" and "2" are subscripts, we can write the problem as following:

`p=s_1t-s_2t`

In order to solve for t, we need to isolate it first and then do algebra. The steps are shown below:

`p=s_1t-s_2t\\p=t(s_1-s_2)\\t=(p)/(s_1-s_2)`
