Solve 2(t-3)+2=2(2t-5)

$$2 ( t - 3 ) + 2 = 2 ( 2 t - 5 )$$

Solve for t

$$t=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by t-3.

$$2t-6+2=2\left(2t-5\right)$$

Add -6 and 2 to get -4.

$$2t-4=2\left(2t-5\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2t-5.

$$2t-4=4t-10$$

Subtract 4t from both sides.

$$2t-4-4t=-10$$

Combine 2t and -4t to get -2t.

$$-2t-4=-10$$

Add 4 to both sides.

$$-2t=-10+4$$

Add -10 and 4 to get -6.

$$-2t=-6$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$t=\frac{-6}{-2}$$

Divide -6 by -2 to get 3.

$$t=3$$
