Simplif 1/2t to t/2
t/2 + 8 = 5/2t - 10
Simplify 5/2t to 5t/2
t/2 + 8 = 5t/2 - 10
Multiply both sides by 2
t + 16 = 5t - 20
Subtract t from both sides
16 = 5t - 20 - t
Simplify 5t - 20 - t to 4t - 20
16 = 4t - 20
Add 20 to both sides
16 + 20 = 4t
Simplify 16 + 20 to 36
36 = 4t
Divide both sides by 4
36/4 = t
Simplify 36/4 to 9
9 = t
Switch sides
t = 9
Answer:
t = 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 t + 8 = 5/2 t - 10
- 8 -5/2 t
1/2 t - 5/2 t = -10 - 8
-2t = -18
t = 9.
