Question

What is the answer to -2(3+t)-8=5t

Answer 1

t=-2

Explanation:

Distribute the -2: -2(3+t)-8=5t => -6-2t-8=5t

Combine Like Terms: -6-8=7t => -14=7t

Simplify: -14/7=7t/7 => -2=t

So, at last, t=-2

Answer 2

t = - 2

Explanation:

- 2(3 + t) - 8 = 5t

- 6 - 2t - 8 = 5t

- 14 - 2t = 5t

- 14 = 7t

- 14/7 = 7t/7

- 2 = t
