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


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


17-4t=-2t-6%2B11 Combine like terms on the left side.


17-4t=5-2t Combine like terms on the right side.


-4t=5-2t-17 Subtract 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 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is t=6
