Question

$$5 t - 3 = 3 t - 5$$

Solve for t

$t=-1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3t$ from both sides.

$$5t-3-3t=-5$$

Combine $5t$ and $-3t$ to get $2t$.

$$2t-3=-5$$

Add $3$ to both sides.

$$2t=-5+3$$

Add $-5$ and $3$ to get $-2$.

$$2t=-2$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$t=\frac{-2}{2}$$

Divide $-2$ by $2$ to get $-1$.

$$t=-1$$
