Question 269243
please help me with this equation. i did the distributive property and i think im doing it right can someone help. 

{{{-3(t-5)-2(2t+1)=-8}}}

-3*(t-5) = -3t + 15 and
-2*(2t+1) = -4t - 2 so we have:

-3t + 15 - 4t - 2 = -8

Collect like terms:

-7t + 13 = -8

Subtract 13 from both sides:

-7t = -21

Divide bith sides by -7:

t = 3
