3t-7=5t Start with the given equation.


3t=5t%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


3t-5t=7 Subtract 5t from both sides.


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


t=%287%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate t.


t=-7%2F2 Reduce.

If t=-7%2F2, then 6t+=+6%2A%28-7%2F2%29+=+-42%2F2+=+highlight%28-21%29
