2%28t-5%29-3%282t-7%29=12-5%283t%2B1%29 Start with the given equation.


2t-10-6t%2B21=12-15t-5 Distribute.


11-4t=12-15t-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


11-4t=7-15t Combine like terms on the right side.


-4t=7-15t-11 Subtract 11 from both sides.


-4t%2B15t=7-11 Add 15t to both sides.


11t=7-11 Combine like terms on the left side.


11t=-4 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%28-4%29%2F%2811%29 Divide both sides by 11 to isolate t.

Answer:

So the solution is t=-4%2F11
