Solve -1+x=-5+2t

$$- 1 + x = - 5 + 2 t$$

Solve for t

$$t=\frac{x+4}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$-5+2t=-1+x$$

Add 5 to both sides.

$$2t=-1+x+5$$

Add -1 and 5 to get 4.

$$2t=4+x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2t=x+4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2t}{2}=\frac{x+4}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$t=\frac{x+4}{2}$$

Divide 4+x by 2.

$$t=\frac{x}{2}+2$$

Solve for x

$$x=2\left(t-2\right)$$

Solution Steps

Add 1 to both sides.

$$x=-5+2t+1$$

Add -5 and 1 to get -4.

$$x=-4+2t$$
