Answer:

t=9

Explanation:

Solve -

Distribute :7-(5t - 13) = - 25

7 - 5t + 13 = - 25

Add the numbers :7 – 57 + 13 = -25

20-51 = -25

Rearrange terms :20-51 = -25

-51+ 20 = -25

Subtract 20 from both sides :-51 + 20 = -25

-51+20-20-25-20

Simplify :Subtract the numbers

-51+ 20-20-25-20

-5:=-25-20

Subtract the numbers

-51 = -25-20

-51 = -45

-51 = -45

Divide both sides by the same factor : -51 = -45 -5t -5 -45- -5 =

Simplify : Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator :: -5t - = -45 - -5

t = - 45 - -5

Divide the numbers :

t = - 45 - -5 ” t=9 ” here’s the answer
