3 ( 2t + 5 ) = 5 t + 25

3 * 2 t + 3 * 5 = 5 t + 25

6 t + 15 = 5 t + 25

6t - 5t = 25 - 15

t = 10

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The solution of the equation is t=10

C is correct option

Explanation:

Given:
3(2t+5)=5t+25

We need to solve for t


3(2t+5)=5t+25 (Distributive property)

Distribute 3 over the bracket (2t+5)


6t+15=5t+25

Move variable term left side and constant right side


6t-5t=25-15

Combine like term


t=10

Hence, The solution of the equation is t=10
