3/t = 5/t-7

Parth (parthkohli):

Alright, you cross multiply if the fractions are equal in order to solve for t. \(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 3(t - 7) = 5t }\) \(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 3t - 21 = 5t }\) \(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 5t - 3t = -21 }\) \(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2t = -21}\) \(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow t = -10.5 }\)

Parth (parthkohli):

Is (t - 7) the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.

Parth (parthkohli):

Then you have the answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, ok. thanks.
