how do you solve 5-(t+3)=-1-2 (t-3)

Question

I need to know how to solve this, step by step. Help, anyone? Note: I said step by step, so I dont want the answer. I want to know how to get the answer.

Answer 1

me ges that trash mite be

5 -(x+3) = -1 -2*(x-3)

or -x+5-3 =-1 -2x +6

2x-x +2=6-1

x=5-2

x=3

Answer 2

Given 5-(t+3)=-1-2 (t-3)
5-t-3=-3(t-3)
2-t=-3t+9
2-9=-3t+t
-7=-2t
t=7/2

Answer 3

Given 5-(t+3)=-1-2(t-3)    Remove the brackets in both sides.

5-t-3=-1-2t+6    Combine like terms in both sides separately. 

2-t=5-2t    Add 2t to both sides.

2+t=5    Subtact 2 from both sides.   We have:

t=3

CK: Plug t=3 into the given equation: 5-(3+3)=-1-2(3-3), so LHS=RHS=-1   CKD.

The answer is: t=3
