The value of t = -6

We have the equation
`\sf -11=t-5}`. And what we need to do is solve for the variable, t.

↪

To solve for the variable, we should ensure that the variable we need to solve for is all by itself on one side of the equation.

T is not all by itself,
`\because` 5 is subtracted from it.

So what do we do to "remove" that 5 from there? Wouldn't it be great if there was a zero instead of the -5?

We can make that happen by adding 5 to both sides.

We add 5.

`\sf -11=t-5+5}\\-11=t+0}\\-11=t`

`\bullet` However, we also need to add 5 to the other side.

`\sf -11+5=t}`

Simplify!

`\sf -6=t}`

NOW the variable, t, is all by itself.

↪

Tip: Why not check your work and make sure there are no mistakes?

We can proof-read, but we can also do this:

• Plug in the solution (t=-6) into the original equation.

`\sf -11=-6-5}`. Upon simplification, we obtain

`\sf -11=-11`

Since both sides (the left hand side, l.h.s. and the right hand side, r.h.s. are the same, our solution, t=-6, is correct. Great job!

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\bf\:-6 = t}`

Explanation:

`-11 = t - 5`

Bring - 5 to the right hand side of the equation.

`-11 = t - 5\\-11 + 5 = t\\\boxed{\bf\:-6 = t}`

`\rule{150pt}{2pt}`
