To get t on one side, we have to use inverse operations to get rid of the 5.
1. Use inverse operation of multiplication to get rid of 5. Which would be division.
2. Divide both sides by 5.
5t/5 = 7 1/2 / 5
3. Solve.
5t/5 = t and 7 1/2 /5 = 1 1/2
7.5 / 5 = 1.5
Therefore, your answer would be C. divide both sides by 5, and the answer is 1 1/2.
