10t^2+5t=5t^2+11t+8

 

10t2+5t=5t2+11t+810t25t2+5t11t8=05t26t8=0

Now you could use the quadratic formula but I am going to factorise it.

I need 2 numbers that multiply to give 5*-8=-40   and add to give -6

-10 and +4 work

change -6t into  -10t+4t

 

5t210t+4t8=05t(t2)+4(t2)=0(5t+4)(t2)=05t+4=0ort2=05t=4ort=2t=45ort=2
