16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11) <em>use distributive property</em>: <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)
16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88
36 - 15t = -16t + 88 <em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>
-15t = -16t + 52 <em>add 16t to both sides</em>
t = 52

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x - 5 = 
Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 4 and 8 ) to clear the fractions
6x - 40 = 3 ( add 40 to both sides )
6x = 43 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x =
