Answer:

x= tm+5/4-t

Explanation:

4x-5=t(x+5)

4x-5-=tx+tm distributive

4x-5-tx=tm substract tx from both sides

4x-tx=tm+5 add 5 to both sides

x * 4+ x(-t) =tm+5 factor x out 4x-tx

x(4-t)=tm+5 factor x out x*4 + x(-t)

x(4-t)/4-t= tm/4-t+ 5/4-t divide each term in 4-t

x= tm/4-t + 5/4-t combine the numerators over the common denominator

x=tm+5/4-t
