5t - 7 / 19 = 2


Multiply both sides of this equation by 19 to get:


5t - 7 = 38


Add 7 to both sides of this equation to get:


5t = 45


Divide both sides of this equation by 5 to get:


t = 9


Substitute in your original equation to get:


(5t-7)/19 = 2 which becomes:


(5*9-7)/19 = 2 which becomes:


(45-7)/19 = 2 which becomes:


38/19 = 2 which becomes:


2 = 2 which is true confirming that the value of 9 for t is good.
