Comment from student: Thanks for answering my question, but I'm a little confused on the last equation.
Did you derive that equation from the first one or is that a separate equation?
My response : I derived the second equation from the first one.
For it, I canceled both sides in the first equation by the factor t.
Thanks for your question.
