Question

How do you solve `15+ 5t + 5= 415`?

Answer 1

`t=79`

Explanation:

So first we combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
`15+5t+5=415`

This would be the `15` and the `5`. Combining these will give us `20`. So then we have
`5t+20=415`

Now we get the `5t` by itself by subtracting `20` on both sides of the equation. Which gives us
`5t+20-20=415-20`

After combining like terms again we get
`5t=395`

Now we get `t` by itself by dividing both sides by 5. Which looks like
`"5t"/"5"=395/5`

After simplifying we get
`t=79`
