9\left(5+t\right)=12t
Multiply both sides of the equation by 60.
45+9t=12t
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 5+t.
45+9t-12t=0
Subtract 12t from both sides.
45-3t=0
Combine 9t and -12t to get -3t.
-3t=-45
Subtract 45 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
t=\frac{-45}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
t=15
Divide -45 by -3 to get 15.
