We want to use a table to solve the given equation.
3t-(-5.4)=5.4
In order to choose a good starting point for our table, let's pretend that the equation is 3t=5.4. What multiplied by 3 would get us close to 5.4? 2 would be valid, so it will be our starting point.
t
3t-(-5.4)
=
2
3 (2)-(-5.4)
11.4
1
3 (1)-(-5.4)
8.4
0
3 (0)-(-5.4)
5.4
We can see that t=0 is the solution to our equation.
