Question 668655
-2(T-3)-(T+5)=5
...
Distribute the -2 and the -1
-2(T) - 2(-3) - 1(T) - 1(5) = 5
...
-2T + 6 - T - 5 = 5
Combine like terms
-2T - T = 5 - 6 + 5
-3T = 4
...
Divide both sides by -3
{{{highlight_green(T = -4/3)}}}
...
Check {{{cartoon(
-4/3 - 3 = -4/3 - 9/3 = -13/3,
(-13/3)(-2) = 26/3,
-4/3 + 5 = -4/3 + 15/3 = 11/3,
26/3 - 11/3 = 15/3 = 5)}}}
