Use PEMDAS to get t=1.37

Explanation:

To solve this problem, the best way would be to use PEMDAS.

Because our variable, t, is being divided by 2, we need to multiply both sides by 2.

(t+3.95)/2 (*2)=2.66 (*2)
t=3.95=5.32

We'd then subtract 3.95 from both sides, so t would be isolated.

t=3.95-3.95=5.32-3.95
t=1.37
