7t-5\left(t+2\right)=70
Multiply both sides of the equation by 35, the least common multiple of 5,7.
7t-5t-10=70
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by t+2.
2t-10=70
Combine 7t and -5t to get 2t.
2t=70+10
Add 10 to both sides.
2t=80
Add 70 and 10 to get 80.
t=\frac{80}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
t=40
Divide 80 by 2 to get 40.
