Solve V=4500(1-t/60)

$$V = 4500 ( 1 - \frac { t } { 60 } )$$

Solve for V

$$V=4500-75t$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply 4500 by 1-\frac{t}{60}.

$$V=4500+4500\left(-\frac{t}{60}\right)$$

Cancel out 60, the greatest common factor in 4500 and 60.

$$V=4500-75t$$

Solve for t

$$t=-\frac{V}{75}+60$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4500 by 1-\frac{t}{60}.

$$V=4500+4500\left(-\frac{t}{60}\right)$$

Cancel out 60, the greatest common factor in 4500 and 60.

$$V=4500-75t$$

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

$$4500-75t=V$$

Subtract 4500 from both sides.

$$-75t=V-4500$$

Divide both sides by -75.

$$\frac{-75t}{-75}=\frac{V-4500}{-75}$$

Dividing by -75 undoes the multiplication by -75.

$$t=\frac{V-4500}{-75}$$

Divide V-4500 by -75.

$$t=-\frac{V}{75}+60$$
