Question

Solve for t: 35t + 70 (7-t) = 385

Answer 1

Answer: t = 3
To solve this equation, first, distribute the 70 across (7 - t). This creates the equation
`35t+490-70t=385`. Collecting like terms and subtracting 490 from both sides of the equation makes
`-35t=-105`. To finish solving for t, all you have to do now is divide by -35:
`(-35t)/(-35) = (-105)/(-35)`,
`t=3`.
