Answer:

t=6

Explanation:

It's all about get t on one side of the equation, and so everything else on the other side of the equation.

The first thing we want to get rid of is the 5. The 5 is multiplied by (2t+3), so to get rid of it, we divide both sides by five (divide both sides since they must remain equal):

(5(2t+3))/5=75/5

2t+3=15

The next thing we can get rid of is the 3. Subtract 3 from both sides:

2t+3-3=15-3

2t=12

Now, we get rid of the 2. Divide both sides by 2:

2t/2=12/2

t=6

Answer: Let me know if this helps.

Explanation:

5(2t+3)=75 Distribute the 5 using multiplication. 5x2t and 5x3

10t+15=75 Subtract 15 because you need to get the t by itself.

10t = 60 Now divide by 10 to get t by itself. 10/10 and 60/10.

t = 6 Answer.
