Question 115549

{{{(2/3)t=-1/5}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(15)((2/3)t)=(15)(-1/5)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 15. This will eliminate the fractions  (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver>solver</a>)




{{{10t=-3}}} Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side




{{{t=(-3)/(10)}}} Divide both sides by 10 to isolate t

Answer:

So our answer is {{{t=-3/10}}}  (which is approximately {{{t=-0.3}}} in decimal form)
