How do you solve for t in 27(t+23)=15(t23)?

1 Answer

We can solve the question using the distributive property.

27(t+23)=15(t23)

Multiplying , we get

(27)t+(27)(23)=(15)t(15)(23)

2t7+421=t5215

Taking the like terms to one side of the equation;

2t7t5=215421

Taking LCM,

10t7t35=(27)+(45)105

3t35=34105

3t=3435105

3t=3413

3t=343

t=349=3.77or4
