This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)

Factor 80t - 16t = 0<br><br> help?
Alinara [238K]
I don't know if that is factor-able. It looks like you could just subtract and get 64t. which would lead to the answer being zero since you divide by zero when isolating the variable t.
