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}}}


I assume you're looking for the Value of T, so lets solve.

{{{-3(t-5)}}} is {{{-3t+15}}}
{{{2(2t+1)}}} is {{{4t+2}}}

{{{-3t+15-(4t+2)=-8}}} is 
{{{-3t+15-4t-2=-8}}}.
that simplifies to 
{{{-7t+13=-8}}}
{{{-7t=-21}}}
{{{t=3}}}
