Question

Solve 5 – b = 2t for t.

Answer 1

Basically solving for t is like flipping the equation B= -2t+5

Answer 2

`\rm t = (5 - b)/(2)`

Explanation:

Solve for t:

`\longrightarrow` 5 - b = 2t

5 - b = 2t is equivalent to 2t = 5 - b:

`\longrightarrow` 2t = 5 - b

Divide both sides by 2:

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf (2t)/(2) = (5 - b)/(2)`

`\sf (2)/(2)` = 1:

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf t = (5 - b)/(2)`
