Question

2(t+5)+t=4
Solving linear equations

Answer 1

t = -2

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use algebraic techniques.

2(t + 5) + t = 4 Distribute the 2.

2t + 10 + t = 4 Combine like terms (variables).

3t + 10 = 4 Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

3t = -6 Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation.

t = -2
