⇒Group the like terms together first.

5t-3t=-5+3

⇒When a term in the equation changes position from left to right or from left to right ,it will also change its sign .

⇒The second step is to simplify like terms.

2t=-2

⇒In the last step you will have to divide all the terms of the equation by the coefficient of the unknown variable.

$(2t)/(2) =(-2)/(2) \\t=-1$

∴ t = -1 is the solution.

The answer is:

Work/explanation:

Begin by subtracting 3t on each side:

$\sf{5t-3=3t-5}$

$\sf{5t-3t-3=-5}$

Simplify the left side

$\sf{2t-3=-5}$

Add 3 on each side

$\sf{2t=-5+3}$

$\sf{2t=-2}$

Divide each side by 2

$\sf{t=-1}$
