5t-%284-t%29=8-%282%2Bt%29 Start with the given equation.


5t-4%2Bt=8-2-t Distribute.


-4%2B6t=8-2-t Combine like terms on the left side.


-4%2B6t=6-t Combine like terms on the right side.


6t=6-t%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


6t%2Bt=6%2B4 Add t to both sides.


7t=6%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


7t=10 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%2810%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate t.

Answer:

So the solution is t=10%2F7
