Solve -18.56=-3.2(t-10)

$$- 18.56 = - 3.2 ( t - 10 )$$

Solve for t

$$t=15.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -3.2.

$$\frac{-18.56}{-3.2}=t-10$$

Expand \frac{-18.56}{-3.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$\frac{-1856}{-320}=t-10$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-1856}{-320} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -64.

$$\frac{29}{5}=t-10$$

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

$$t-10=\frac{29}{5}$$

Add 10 to both sides.

$$t=\frac{29}{5}+10$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{50}{5}.

$$t=\frac{29}{5}+\frac{50}{5}$$

Since \frac{29}{5} and \frac{50}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$t=\frac{29+50}{5}$$

Add 29 and 50 to get 79.

$$t=\frac{79}{5}$$
