Question 28114
For this problem you want to get the "t" alone.

5t-26=18t     You have 2 "t" terms. You want to combine them by either subtracting the 5t or the 18t from each side.

-26=13t     From here you want to divide the 13 from both sides to get...

-or-

-13t-26=0     From this point you want to move the -26 over to the other side by adding the 26. Then divide the -13 from both sides to get...

((t=-2))
