Answer
The solution is 0
Work Step by Step
12+5t =6(t+2) Apply the distributive property
12+5t=6t+12 Subtract 12 from both sides
12+5t-12=6t+12 -12 Simplify
5t=6t Subtract 6t from both sides
5t-6t=6t-6t
-t=0 Divide by -1 on both sides
$\frac{-t}{-1}$=$\frac{0}{1}$
t=0
The solution is 0
Check
12+5t =6(t+2) Replace t with 0
12+5$\times$0=6(0+2) 12+0=6$\times$2
12=12
