%282%2F3%29t=-1%2F5 Start with the given equation



%2815%29%28%282%2F3%29t%29=%2815%29%28-1%2F5%29 Multiply both sides by the LCM of 15. This will eliminate the fractions (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this solver)



10t=-3 Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side



t=%28-3%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate t



--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is t=-3%2F10 (which is approximately t=-0.3 in decimal form)
