Full solution

Q. Solve for

t

.

\newline

-2 = 2(t + -5)

\newline

t =

\_\_\_\_

Divide by $2$ : Divide both sides of the equation by $2$ to isolate the term with the variable $t$ . Divide $-2$ by $2$ and $2(t + -5)$ by $2$ . $-2 / 2 = 2(t + -5) / 2$ $-1 = t + -5$
Isolate variable $t$ : Add $5$ to both sides of the equation to solve for $t$ . $\newline$ $–1 + 5 = t + (–5) + 5$ $\newline$ $4 = t$
