Question

$$760-(800-t)=221$$

Solve for t

$t=261$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $800-t$, find the opposite of each term.

$$760-800-\left(-t\right)=221$$

The opposite of $-t$ is $t$.

$$760-800+t=221$$

Subtract $800$ from $760$ to get $-40$.

$$-40+t=221$$

Add $40$ to both sides.

$$t=221+40$$

Add $221$ and $40$ to get $261$.

$$t=261$$
