Solve for t 3(8+t)=25.50

$3 (8 + t) = 25.5$

Step 1

Divide each term in $3 (8 + t) = 25.5$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 (8 + t) = 25.5$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 (8 + t)}{3} = \frac{25.5}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (8 + t)}{3} = \frac{25.5}{3}$

Divide $8 + t$ by $1$ .

$8 + t = \frac{25.5}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $25.5$ by $3$ .

$8 + t = 8.5$

Step 2

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

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$t = 8.5 - 8$

Subtract $8$ from $8.5$ .

$t = 0.5$
