Answer:

x = 5t - a

Explanation:

in order to make x the subject of formulae from the expression 6x+a=5(x+t)

the first step to do is to open the bracket (BODMAS).

6x+a=5(x+t)

6x + a = 5x + 5t

collect the like terms

6x-5x = 5t - a

x = 5t - a

therefore the value of x in the expression , that is expressing x interms of t and a from the expression 6x+a=5(x+t) is solved to be x = 5t - a
