Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\bf\:-6 = t}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-11 = t - 5[/tex]

Bring - 5 to the right hand side of the equation.

[tex]-11 = t - 5\\-11 + 5 = t\\\boxed{\bf\:-6 = t}[/tex]

We have the equation [tex]\sf -11=t-5}[/tex]. And what we need to do is solve for the variable, t.

                                           

To solve for the variable, we should ensure that the variable we need to solve for is all by itself on one side of the equation.

T is not all by itself, [tex]\because[/tex] 5 is subtracted from it.

So what do we do to "remove" that 5 from there? Wouldn't it be great if there was a zero instead of the -5?

We can make that happen by adding 5 to both sides.

We add 5.

[tex]\sf -11=t-5+5}\\-11=t+0}\\-11=t[/tex]

[tex]\bullet[/tex] However, we also need to add 5 to the other side.

[tex]\sf -11+5=t}[/tex]

Simplify!

[tex]\sf -6=t}[/tex]

NOW the variable, t, is all by itself.

                                     

Tip: Why not check your work and make sure there are no mistakes?

We can proof-read, but we can also do this:

  • Plug in the solution (t=-6) into the original equation.

[tex]\sf -11=-6-5}[/tex]. Upon simplification, we obtain

[tex]\sf -11=-11[/tex]

Since both sides (the left hand side, l.h.s. and  the right hand side, r.h.s. are the same, our solution, t=-6, is correct. Great job!
