Question

How to solve 2^2-5t+12=0

Answer 1

2^2 - 5t + 12 = 0

4 - 5t + 12 = 0

-5t + 16 = 0

-5t = -16

t = 16/5

Answer: 16/5 in fraction form or 3.2 in decimal form

Answer 2

2² - 5t + 12 = 0

So, because we are solving for t, you must get t isolated! :)

Simplify the equation.

4 - 5t + 12 = 0

Add like terms.

16 - 5t = 0

Subtract 16 from both sides.

-5t = 0 - 16

Simplify.

-5t = -16

Divide both sides by -5.

t = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
