Answer:

x =
(t+ka)/(k)

Explanation:

k(x - a) = t ← distribute parenthesis on the left side by k )

kx - ka = t ( add ka to both sides )

kx = t + ka ( divide both sides by k )

x =
(t+ka)/(k)

Answer:

x = t+ka/k

Explanation:

First you take letter k and place it after =sign which brings (x-a) = t/k because if you shift any number or letter after the = sign it has to be the opposite sign. for instance if it's positive, it will turn negative after the equal sign and if it is multiplication, it will turn division

Then you open the brackets which makes x-a = t/k

Now you shift "a" after the equal sign which leads to our answer, x= t +ka/k
