-3-4%28t-5%29=-2%28t%2B3%29%2B11 Start with the given equation



-3-4t%2B20=-2t-6%2B11 Distribute


-4t%2B17=-2t-6%2B11 Combine like terms on the left side


-4t%2B17=-2t%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side


-4t=-2t%2B5-17Subtract 17 from both sides


-4t%2B2t=5-17 Add 2t to both sides


-2t=5-17 Combine like terms on the left side


-2t=-12 Combine like terms on the right side


t=%28-12%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate t



t=6 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is t=6
