What value of t makes the following equation true?

3 (t-2) = -1

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (t - 2) = - 1

3t - 6 = - 1

3t = - 1 + 6

3t = 5

t = 5/3 <==

lets check it ...

3 (5/3 - 2) = - 1

3 (5/3 - 6/3) = - 1

3 (-1/3) = - 1

-3/3 = - 1

-1 = - 1 (correct) ... it checks out

t=

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (t-2) = -1

3t-6=-1

3t-6+6=-1+6

3t=5

t=5/3
