5(2t - 3) – 7.5t = 0.5(12 – t)
PLEASEEEE HELP ME

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2t - 3) – 7.5t = 0.5(12 – t)

5*2t - 3*5 - 7.5t = 12*0.5 - t *0.5

10t - 15 - 7.5t = 6 - 0.5t           {Now, combine like terms}

10t - 7.5t - 15 = 6 - 0.5t

         2.5t -15 = 6 - 0.5t      {Add 15 to both sides}    

         2.5t      = 6 - 0.5t + 15

              2.5t = 21 - 0.5t       { Add 0.5t to both sides}

    2.5t + 0.5t = 21  

                 3t = 21     {Divide both sides by 3}

                   t = 21/3

t = 7
