What is 15/8 + 1/5t = 3

t = 45/8

Step-by-step explanation:

15/8 + 1/5t = 3

Multiply each side by 40 to get rid of the fractions

40 (15/8 + 1/5t) = 3*40

Distribute

75 + 8t = 120

Subtract 75 from each side

75-75 + 8t = 120-75

8t = 45

Divide each side by 8

8t/8 = 45/8

t = 45/8

t = 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for the value of t from the expression 15/8 + 1/5t = 3, we would simply look for how to express t as the subject of formulae.

solution

15/8 + 1/5t = 3

15/8 - 3 = 1/5t

3 (15) - 8 (3) / 24 = 1/5t

45 - 24/24 = 1/5t

21/24 = 1/5t

cross multiply

21 x 5t = 24 x 1

105t = 24

divide both sides by 105

105t/105 = 24/105

t = 0.22
