Question 398478
{{{1.1-t+2.2t=5.9}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{10(1.1-t+2.2t)=10(5.9)}}} Multiply both sides by 10 to clear out the decimals.



{{{11-10t+22t=59}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{11+12t=59}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12t=59-11}}} Subtract {{{11}}} from both sides.



{{{12t=48}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{t=(48)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{t}}}.



{{{t=4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{t=4}}}
