Given the numerical expression:
2(3t - 5) - 3(4t + 1)
Solve.
Solution:
In order to solve the numerical equation, we first need to distribute the values of 2 and 3 to their corresponding parenthesis.
=2(3t - 5) - 3(4t + 1)
= 6t - 10 - 12t - 3
Combine like terms.
= -6t -13
If we need to solve for t, then we can simply transpose -6t on the other side of the equations, then divide both sides by 6. We must take note that when dividing a number, the sign changes.
6t = -13
t = -13/6
Final answer:
Simplified form: -6t -13
t = -13/6
