OK! This question has to first be solved by using Distributive Property. Like so:
\n" ); document.write( " 5(t+1)+8= 3(t-2)+6
\n" ); document.write( " 5t + 5 + 8 = 3t - 6 + 6
\n" ); document.write( " Then simplify! :)
\n" ); document.write( " 5t + 13 = 3t
\n" ); document.write( " 13 = 3t - 5t
\n" ); document.write( " 13 = -2t
\n" ); document.write( " t = 13/-2
\n" ); document.write( " t = -6.5
\n" ); document.write( " I hope I helped! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
