Let's go step by step.
Bring all the knowns on one side and unknowns(t) on the other.
3t-12%3E5t%2B2
cross%283t%29-cross%283t%29-12%3E5t-3t%2B2 Add the additive inverse of 3t to both sides (-3t).
-12%3E2t%2B2Simplify.
-12-2%3E2t%2Bcross%282%29-cross%282%29Add the additive inverse of 2 to both sides (-2).
-14%3E2tSimplify.
-14%2F2%3E2t%2F2Multiply by the multiplicative inverse of 2 (1/2).
-7%3Et or
t%3C-7
