Exercise 31 Page 85

How can you isolate t on the right-hand side?

t=5

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation we need to isolate t on one side of the equation. By dividing both sides by 2.2, we can cancel it from the right-hand side.
11=2.2t
11/2.2=2.2t/2.2
5=t
t=5
Therefore, t=5 is the solution to the equation. To check that we have the correct solution, we can substitute t=5 into the original equation and simplify.
11=2.2t
11? =2.2 * 5
11=11
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, t=5 is the correct solution.
