Solve for t 57-4t=13

$57 - 4 t = 13$

Step 1

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

Subtract $57$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 4 t = 13 - 57$

Subtract $57$ from $13$ .

$- 4 t = - 44$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 4 t = - 44$ by $- 4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 4 t = - 44$ by $- 4$ .

$\frac{- 4 t}{- 4} = \frac{- 44}{- 4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 4 t}{- 4} = \frac{- 44}{- 4}$

Divide $t$ by $1$ .

$t = \frac{- 44}{- 4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 44$ by $- 4$ .

$t = 11$
