Last Saturday, Camila practiced her dance routines for her upcoming competition. She spent some time practicing her tap routine,
and then she spent 17 minutes practicing her hip-hop routine. In all, she practiced for 45 minutes. Let t be the number of minutes that Camila practiced her tap routine. Write and solve an equation to find t.

45 minutes = Number of minutes for hip-hop routine + Number of minutes for tap dance
Multiply both sides by 2. Move constant to the right-hand side and change the sign. Add the numbers. And change the signs on both sides of the equation.
