Solve 2(t-5)=y

$$2 ( t - 5 ) = y$$

Solve for t

$$t=\frac{y+10}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$2t-10=y$$

Add 10 to both sides.

$$2t=y+10$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2t}{2}=\frac{y+10}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$t=\frac{y+10}{2}$$

Divide y+10 by 2.

$$t=\frac{y}{2}+5$$

Solve for y

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

Solution Steps

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

$$2t-10=y$$

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

$$y=2t-10$$
