Find t

20+t-22+22-2+t=40

1 answer

To solve for t, we can simplify the equation step by step:

20 + t - 22 + 22 - 2 + t = 40

Combine like terms:

(20 - 22 + 22 - 2) + (t + t) = 40

Simplify inside the parentheses:

18 + 2t = 40

Subtract 18 from both sides:

(18 + 2t) - 18 = 40 - 18

2t = 22

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate t:

(2t) / 2 = 22 / 2

t = 11

Therefore, t equals 11.
