solve this equation;5t(6 times 10 neg.3)=(6 times10neg -2)
does it look like this:
t =variable
5t(6 X 10 - 3) = 6 X 10 - 2
are there any parenthesis missing? If you have only t that means it wants you to solve for the varible t.
To solve the equation, let's simplify each side step by step:
First, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
6 × 10^(-2) = 6 × (1/100) = 6/100 = 0.06
Now, let's simplify the left side of the equation:
5t × (6 × 10^(-3)) = 5t × (6 × (1/1000)) = 5t × (6/1000) = (5 × 6t) / 1000 = 30t / 1000 = 0.03t
So now we have the equation:
0.03t = 0.06
To solve for t, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.03:
(0.03t) / 0.03 = 0.06 / 0.03
This simplifies to:
t = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is t = 2.
