Answer
$t = 10$ or $t = 0$
Work Step by Step
Divide each side of the equation by $4$ to isolate the absolute value expression:
$|5 - t| = 5$
To get rid of the absolute value sign, rewrite the equation as two separate equations:
$5 - t = -5$ or $5 - t = 5$
Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation:
$-t = -10$ or $-t = 0$
Divide both sides of the equation by $-1$:
$t = 10$ or $t = 0$
