Hey there!

65 = t - 5 - 7

t - 5 - 7 = 65

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

t - (-5 - 7) = 65

t - 5 - 7 = 65

t - 12 = 65

ADD 12 to BOTH SIDES

t - 12 + 12 = 12 + 65

SIMPLIFY IT

t = 65 + 12

t = 77


Therefore, your answer should be:

t = 77


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer: t = 77

Explanation:

To solve for t, we will simplify and isolate the variable.

Given:

65 = t - 5 - 7

Combine like terms:

65 = t - 12

Add 12 to both sides of the equation:

77 = t
