Question

How do you solve `2t-12-3t=60`?

Answer 1

The answer is `t=-72`

Explanation:

To solve such equations you have to put all the expressions with the unknown on one side and all numbers on the other:

`2t-3t=60+12`

Next you simplify both sides:

`-t=72`

Finally you divide both sides by the coefficient on the left side of the unknown (in this case `-1`) to get the answer:

`t=-72`
