3(1+2t)=3t+5
Use distributive property:
3 + 6t = 3t +5
Subtract 3 from both sides:
6t = 3t + 2
Subtract 3t from both sides:
3t = 2
Divide both sides by 3:
t = 2/3
Answer:
t = 2 / 3
Explanation:
3(1 + 2t) = 3t + 5
3(1 + 2t) = 3t + 5
(3)(1) + (3)(2t) = 3t + 5 (Distribute)
3 + 6t = 3t + 5
6t + 3 = 3t + 5
6t + 3 − 3t = 3t + 5 − 3t
3t + 3 = 5
3t + 3 − 3 = 5 − 3
3t = 2
3t / 3 = 2 / 3
