Question

16-5(3t-4)=8(-2t+11) How to Solve

Answer 1

16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11)        use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)

16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88

36 - 15t = -16t + 88      subtract 36 from both sides

-15t = -16t + 52            add 16t to both sides

t = 52
