_5_
t+5 = -6
:
= -6
:
Multiply both sides by (t+5)
(t+5)* = -6(t+5)
:
cancel the denominator on the left, multiply what's inside the brackets
5 = -6t - 30
;
Add 6t to both sides
6t + 5 = -30
;
Subtract 5 from both sides
6t = -30 - 5
6t = -35
:
Divide both sides by 6
t =
or
t = -5.833
:
:
Check solution in original equation
=
= -6.00 confirms our solution
