Answer:
Tm = 6 - Ts
Explanation:
- We are given an equation and the variables that go with each part of the equation.
- If the equation is RmTm + RsTs = 170...
- And Rm is 20, Rs is 30, and Tm is Ts + 1...
- Then we can plug those variables in and solve algebraically.
- Currently we have 20 • (Tm + 1) + 30 • Ts = 170
- Subtract 30 from both sides.
- Now we have 20 • (Tm + 1) • Ts = 140
- Distribute 20.
- Now we have 20Tm + 20 • Ts = 140
- Subtract 20 from both sides.
- Now we have 20Tm • Ts = 120
- Divide 20Tm by 20, then divide 120 by 20.
- Tm • Ts = 6.
- Subtract Ts from both sides.
- Tm = 6 - Ts.
