2-3%28t-5%29=4%2Bt Start with the given equation.


2-3t%2B15=4%2Bt Distribute.


17-3t=4%2Bt Combine like terms on the left side.


-3t=4%2Bt-17 Subtract 17 from both sides.


-3t-t=4-17 Subtract t from both sides.


-4t=4-17 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4t=-13 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%28-13%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate t.


t=13%2F4 Reduce.
