Original equation: 5t-2%28t%2B2%29%3E8
Step 1: Distribute '-2' to everything in the parenthesis
5t-2%28t%2B2%29%3E8
5t-2t+-+4%3E8
Step 2: Combine like terms
5t-2t+-+4%3E8
3t+-+4%3E8
Step 3: Add '4' to both sides to get '3t' by itself
3t+-+4%3E8
3t+%3E12
Step 4: Divide '3' to both sides to get 't' by itself
3t+%3E12
t+%3E4
Since you divided by a positive number, the inequality sign does not change.
The answer is t+%3E4
