Step-by-step explanation:

After this equation is simplified, it is solved the way any 1-step linear equation is solved.

__

1.4t -0.4(t -3.1) = 5.8 . . . . . . given

1.4t -0.4t +1.24 = 5.8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

t +1.24 = 5.8 . . . . . . . . . collect terms (now you have a 1-step equation)

t = 4.56 . . . . . . . . .  .subtract 1.24
