HELPPP MEEE PLEASSEEE !!!!

Answer 1

t = 2

Explanation

Simplify 5-(t+3).

-t+2=-1+2t-3

Subtract 3 from -1

-t+2=2t-4

Move all terms containing to the left side of the equation.

-3t+2=-4

Move all terms not containing t to the right side of the equation.

-3t=-6

Divide each term by -3 and simply.

t = 2
