\sqrt{a+bt}=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
a+bt=25
Square both sides of the equation.
a+bt-bt=25-bt
Subtract bt from both sides of the equation.
a=25-bt
Subtracting bt from itself leaves 0.
\sqrt{a+bt}=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
tb+a=25
Square both sides of the equation.
tb+a-a=25-a
Subtract a from both sides of the equation.
tb=25-a
Subtracting a from itself leaves 0.
\frac{tb}{t}=\frac{25-a}{t}
Divide both sides by t.
b=\frac{25-a}{t}
Dividing by t undoes the multiplication by t.
