Question

3/5t+ 7 = -8 What is t

Answer 1

The equation to solve is:

`(3)/(5t)+7=-8`

We take "7" to the right hand side:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(5t)+7=-8 \\ (3)/(5t)=-8-7 \\ (3)/(5t)=-15 \end{gathered}`

Now, we cross multiply:

`\begin{gathered} 3=5t*-15 \\ 3=-75t \end{gathered}`

Now we divide by -75 to solve for t:

`\begin{gathered} 3=-75t \\ t=-(3)/(75) \end{gathered}`
