The equation is 4.95 = 0.3t.
\Apply division property of equality: If a = b then .
(Divide each side by 0.3)
(Cancel common terms)
t = 16.5 (Divide: )
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute t = 16.5 in original equation.
\4.95 = (0.3)(16.5)
\4.95 = 4.95 (Multiply: )
The statement is true.
\The value of t = 16.5.
