Question

If 5t=5 then t is what number

Answer 1

Answer: t = 1

This is because 5t means "5 times t". The t is a placeholder for a number.

To solve for t, we divide both sides by 5

5t = 5

5t/5 = 5/5

t = 1

Note how 5t = 5 becomes 5*1 = 5 after replacing t with 1. Because 5*1 = 5 is a true statement, this helps confirm we have the correct answer.
