Question

If 5t + 2= 6, then t =

Answer 1

5t + 2 = 6

5t = 4

t = 4/5

Answer 2

`t = 4/5 \\therefore, t = 1.25`

Step-by-step explanation:

`5t + 2 = 6\\\\`

• collect like terms

`5t = 6 - 2`

• subtract 2 from 6

`5t = 4`

• divide both sides by 5

`5t/5 = 4/5`

• 5 cancels out 5 leaving just t

`t = 4/5`

`t = 1.25`

When carrying out questions like this first look out for what is common, are there like terms, can I divide through by any number, etc. These questions help to inspire you towards your goal of getting the answer.
