What is 5-t equal to that starts with "t"

 

there are many answers but this is the simplest one :)

 

5t=t+52t

or

 

5t=t/1+5

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question correctly. Is this a riddle or a mathamaticle problem? In the second case, are you working with Integers, with Real Numbers, or with that kinds of numbers exactly?

If its a riddle, both 2 and 3 are solutions, as 2+3=5 and both two and three start with a "t".

If you work with real numbers 552=52 , i hope you can say 52 starts with 52.

If you work with integers, the notation of 'starts with "t"' also makes sense, for example 14248 starts with 14. In that case there is no solution though. You can try out all small t, and it cant work with big t as 5-t and t have either the same number of digits but are not equal, or one starts with 9, one with 1.
Hope that answers your question.

What I am wondering is a way to rewrite 5-t so that I can have T first in the equation
