Open in App

Solution

We have, $3 (t - 3) = 5 (2 t - 1)$
Applying distributive property to the following equation:
$3 t - 9 = 10 t - 5$
Taking similar terms on one side.
$3 t - 10 t = 9 - 5 - 7 t = 4 t = - \frac{4}{7}$
Therefore, the solution to equation is $\begin{array}{rcl} t & = & - \frac{4}{7} \end{array}$ .
