Explanation:

Let's solve for t on the left side.

We need to work on the right side first.

Use the distributive property:


5(-4t)=5 * -4t = -20t


(-4t)=-20t+8

Add 20t to both sides:


16t=8

Divide both sides by 16:


t=(1)/(2)

1/2 or 0.50 is your answer.

Answer:

t = 1/2

Explanation:

(-4t)=5(-4t)+8

Distribute

-4t = -20t+8

Add 20t to each side

-4t+20t = -20t+8+20t

16t = 8

Divide by 16

16t/16 = 8/16

t = 1/2
