Paul asked the following question: How do I solve 3t+4=19-2t? Firstly, this is an equation with one unknown quantity (t) and the rest are just numbers. So let's work on those numbers first. 3t + 4 = 19 - 2t If we subtract 4 from both sides, it will be a little tidier: 3t + 4 - 4 = 19 - 4 - 2t
Now we can get rid of the subtracted 2t by adding 2t to both sides: 3t + 2t = 15 - 2t + 2t
Now to find t, we just divide each side by 5: 5t/5 = 15/5
