-6%28t-9%29-1%28t%2B5%29=2 Start with the given equation.


-6t%2B54-t-5=2 Distribute.


49-7t=2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7t=2-49 Subtract 49 from both sides.


-7t=-47 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%28-47%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate t.


t=47%2F7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is t=47%2F7
