Hi!
<h3>Use the distribution property</h3>
1.4t — 0.4 * t - 0.4 * —3.1 = 5.8
1.4t — 0.4t - 1.24 = 5.8
<h3>Simplify</h3>
1t - 1.24 = 5.8
<h3>Add 1.24 to both sides</h3>
1t - 1.24 + 1.24 = 5.8 + 1.24
1t = 7.04
<u>t = 7.04</u>
<h2>The answer is t = 7.04</h2>
Hope this helps! :)

You would just multiply $0.22 8 times then add the $0.54 to it and you get $2.30
