Chapter 0.5, Problem 16E

To determine

To solve the equation $5t=30$

Answer to Problem 16E

  $t=6$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: $5t=30$

Formula Used : Linear equations with one variable

Calculation:

Given equation is

  $5t=30$

To isolate the variable t, divide 5 from both sides-

  $\frac{5}{5}t=\frac{30}{5}$

This gives

  $t=\frac{30}{5}$

To simplify further, write 30 as product of its factors-

  $t=\frac{5\times 6}{5}$

Hence the final answer is,

  $t=6$
