32.0=5.5x10^2(1/T)+14.2

Solve for T

I am confused about what the first step would be to solving for T. Would I divide 5.5x10^2(1/T) and move it to the left side?

Please help.

Not 100% sure but I would start by subtracting 14.2 from both sides(=17.8). Then multiply by the reciprocal of 1/T (both sides) then divide both sides by 17.8.

32.0=5.5*10^2(1/T)+14.2
-14.2=5.5*10^2(1/T)-14.2

(T/1)17.8=5.5*10^2(1/T)*(T/1)
T 17.8/(17.8)=5.5*10^2/(17.8)

T=5.5*10^2/17.8
T=30.8988764
Hope that helped a little
