t-(7-3t)+5=2t+10
combine like terms for each side first
(7-4t)-5=2t+10
than combine like terms to one side to make the variable positive
(7)-5=6t+10
next combine like terms to the other side( just the number not the variable
7-5-10=6t
now you simplify again
-8=6t
than you divide both sides by 6 to get t(the variable) by it self
-1
(1)/(3)=t
