Question 127393

{{{t/10-t/25=1/10}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(50)(t/cross(10)-t/cross(25))=(50)(1/cross(10))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 50. 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>)




{{{5t-2t=5}}} Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side




{{{3t=5}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{t=(5)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by 3 to isolate t

Answer:

So our answer is {{{t=5/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{t=1.66666666666667}}} in decimal form)
