3%285t-19%29=-13t-1 Start with the given equation.


15t-57=-13t-1 Distribute.


15t=-13t-1%2B57 Add 57 to both sides.


15t%2B13t=-1%2B57 Add 13t to both sides.


28t=-1%2B57 Combine like terms on the left side.


28t=56 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%2856%29%2F%2828%29 Divide both sides by 28 to isolate t.


t=2 Reduce.
