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.
