⇒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:

t = -1

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}
