Question

$$-9t-10=5t+25$$

Solve for t

$t = -\frac{5}{2} = -2\frac{1}{2} = -2.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5t$ from both sides.

$$-9t-10-5t=25$$

Combine $-9t$ and $-5t$ to get $-14t$.

$$-14t-10=25$$

Add $10$ to both sides.

$$-14t=25+10$$

Add $25$ and $10$ to get $35$.

$$-14t=35$$

Divide both sides by $-14$.

$$t=\frac{35}{-14}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{35}{-14}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $7$.

$$t=-\frac{5}{2}$$
