Solve for t: (20t)+30=30t

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

I don't see why 20t is in parentheses. However, the whole goal for solving an equation is to get the variable by itself.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So lets get 't' by itself. How can we do that?

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

@MathLegend divide left side by 30

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

No, why not subtract 20t first? @baldymcgee6

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

right, anyways t=3

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Godo job! Yeah, I just did it in my head.
