%285%2F2%29t-t=3%2B%283%2F2%29t Start with the given equation.


2%28%285%2Fcross%282%29%29t-t%29=2%283%2B%283%2Fcross%282%29%29t%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 2 to clear any fractions.


5t-2t=6%2B3t Distribute and multiply.


3t=6%2B3t Combine like terms on the left side.


3t-3t=6 Subtract 3t from both sides.


0t=6 Combine like terms on the left side.


0=6 Simplify.


Since this equation is NEVER true for any 't' value, this means that there are no solutions.
