Question

Group the terms with variables on one side of the equal sign, and simplify.
8t −15 = 32t

Answer 1

Subtract 8t from 8t and then do 32t- 8t. The new equation is -15=24t. That is the new equation simplified. But the answer would be t=15/24, but you can simplify that which would be t=5/8

Answer 2

t = -5/8

Explanation:

1.) Add 15 to each side canceling it out on the left

8t - 15 = 32t

+15 +15

2.) Subtract 32 from each side canceling it on the right

8t = 32t +15

-32t -32t

3.) Divide each side by 24 to get the variable

-24t = 15

-24t/-24t = 15/-24t

4.) Simplify by 3

5/-8

t = -5/8
