to find t? yes.
First, you combine like terms so 3t and 2t and 4t. Add 3 and 2 and then subtract the 4. you will end up with 1t (just t) +2. you cannot add the 2 because it does not have the variable t. on the other side, you will also combine like terms. so 3+5=8. now your equation is t+2=8. this is the part where you will try to get t by itself. subtract the 2 from the left side. but in order for the equation to stay equal to itself, you have to subtract 2 from the right side as well. this will leave you with your final answer of t=6.
