Question

Value of t? 1.4t — 0.4 (t — 3.1) = 5.8

Answer 1

Hi!

Use the distribution property

1.4t — 0.4 * t - 0.4 * —3.1 = 5.8

1.4t — 0.4t - 1.24 = 5.8

Simplify

1t - 1.24 = 5.8

Add 1.24 to both sides

1t - 1.24 + 1.24 = 5.8 + 1.24

1t = 7.04

t = 7.04

The answer is t = 7.04

Hope this helps! :)
