Question

5(5t - 2) = -35

Answer 1

well i dont really know how to do it at all

Answer 2

I guess youre looking for the value of t? You have to isolate the t.

Answer 3

ok then what do you do next ?

Answer 4

Ok, you want to take the t on the left side of the "=" and the rest of the numbers to the right:

First, divide both sides by 5
\[\frac{ 5(5t - 2) }{ 5}=\frac{ -35}{ 5 } \]

ok, try it

Answer 5

thank you soo much !! do you do that when your solving multi-step equations to ??

Answer 6

Yes, you have to isolate the variable; in your previous example you divide by 5 to get rid of the 5, multiplying (5t-2)then you only have to move the other 5 and the -2 to get the value of t.

Answer 7

I think your example is multi-step though

Answer 8

thank you can you pleasee write it out in letters because i dont really understand !

Answer 9

Ok, after dividing by 5 you get
\[5t-2=-7\]

Then you add 2 on both sides
\[5t-2+2=-7+2\]

You get:

\[5t=-5\]

Divide by 5 again:
\[\frac{ 5t }{ 5}=\frac{ -5 }{ 5 }\]

So you get the answer:
\[t=-1\]

Answer 10

thank you can u please help me wit this also -----> 60 = 6 (6 - 20 )

Answer 11

60=6(6-20)

\[60= 6(-14) =-8\]

60 = -84

So, that equation doesn't have a solution.

Answer 12

the number up there was supposed to be -84, not -8

Answer 13

ughhh lol i didnt write it write i was supposed to write 60 =6(6-2n)
