You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your brackets seem to be in the wrong place.
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming that the question should be 6(t-5) = 2(t+5)
\n" ); document.write( "We want to find the value of t. To do this you need to get t on its' own on one side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "First you need to multiply out each side of the equation and lose the brackets.
\n" ); document.write( "6t - 30 = 2t + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Then you need to get all of the t's on one side and the numbers on the other.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that what ever you do on one side you must do on the other
\n" ); document.write( "6t - 2t - 30 = 2t - 2t + 10
\n" ); document.write( "4t - 30 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "4t - 30 + 30 = 10 + 30
\n" ); document.write( "4t = 40
\n" ); document.write( "Now we have the t's on one side and the number on the other we can find out what t is.
\n" ); document.write( "To find out the value of t we divide each side by 4
\n" ); document.write( "4t/4 = 40/4
\n" ); document.write( "t=10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you are ever worried about whether or not you have found the right answer, simply put it back into the original equation so in this case,
\n" ); document.write( "6(10-5) = 2(10+5)
\n" ); document.write( "6x5=30=2x15
\n" ); document.write( "Tip: If you have extra time in an exam always go back and do this just to make sure \n" ); document.write( "
