Step 1
Given problem is:
0.4(t - 6) = 0.3(2t + 5)
On multiplication we get,
0.4t−2.4=0.6t+1.5
Since the coefficients of the variable t on both sides of the above equality are not same, therefore the given equality is an equation.
Step 2
Solving we get,
0.6t−0.4t=−2.4−1.5
0.2t=−3.9
t=3.90.2
t=-19.5
Hence the required solution is t=−19.5.
