4%28t-8%29%2B20=5 Start with the given equation.


4t-32%2B20=5 Distribute.


-12%2B4t=5 Combine like terms on the left side.


4t=5%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


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


t=%2817%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate t.

Answer:

So the solution is t=17%2F4
