Solve for t 2(t+1)=10

$2 (t + 1) = 10$

Step 1

Divide each term in $2 (t + 1) = 10$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 (t + 1) = 10$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 (t + 1)}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 (t + 1)}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Divide $t + 1$ by $1$ .

$t + 1 = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $2$ .

$t + 1 = 5$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $t$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$t = 5 - 1$

Subtract $1$ from $5$ .

$t = 4$
