Solve for t:
4 (5 t-8) = 0
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 4 (5 t-8) = 0 by 4:
(4 (5 t-8))/4 = 0/4
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
4/4 = 1:
5 t-8 = 0/4
Any number times zero is zero.
0/4 = 0:
5 t-8 = 0
Isolate terms with t to the left hand side.
Add 8 to both sides:
5 t+(8-8) = 8
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
8-8 = 0:
5 t = 8
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 5 t = 8 by 5:
(5 t)/5 = 8/5
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
5/5 = 1:
Answer: |
| t = 8/5
