Solve 17/20=t+(-13/20)

$$\frac { 17 } { 20 } = t + ( - \frac { 13 } { 20 } )$$

Solve for t

$$t = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$t-\frac{13}{20}=\frac{17}{20}$$

Add \frac{13}{20} to both sides.

$$t=\frac{17}{20}+\frac{13}{20}$$

Since \frac{17}{20} and \frac{13}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$t=\frac{17+13}{20}$$

Add 17 and 13 to get 30.

$$t=\frac{30}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{30}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.

$$t=\frac{3}{2}$$
