Question

8t +23=17

Answer 1

S lets start with simplifying again
8t + 23 = 17

Reorder the terms:
23 + 8t = 17

Solving
23 + 8t = 17

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-23' to each side of the equation.
23 + -23 + 8t = 17 + -23

Combine like terms: 23 + -23 = 0
0 + 8t = 17 + -23
8t = 17 + -23

Combine like terms: 17 + -23 = -6
8t = -6

Divide each side by '8'.
t = -0.75

Simplifying
t = -0.75
