Question 355893
5-(t+3)=-1+2(t-3) --    To Distribute z(x+y)= zx + zy
5-t-3=-1+2t-6    -- Simplify #
2-t=2t-7      --    Move -t to other side +t on both sides
2=3t-7        --    Move -7 to other side +7 to both sides
9=3t         --     Divide both sides by 3
3=t           --    Switch :) Just a Good Habit 
Solution t=3
