if the question is to solve it, subtract 12 from both sides.
This will yield -35=-5t
divide both sides by -1
35=5t
divide both sides by 5
t=7

Hi  

 The rules are the same 

 I. combine Like terms:

 -23 = 12 - 5t   

 Add a -12 to each side     

 -23 - 12 = -5t

 -35 = -5t 

 II. Isolate 't ' on one side of the Equation: 

 Multiply each side by 1/-5

 -35/-5 = t

 III. Simplify

     t = 7

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
