usual method:
5t + 8 = 43
5t = 43-8
5t = 35
t = 35/5
t = 7

5 × 7 + 8 = 43.
To solve the equation 5 + t + 8 = 43, we need to isolate the variable t.
To do that, we'll first combine the constants on one side of the equation. Let's add 5 and 8 together:
5 + 8 = 13.
Now the equation becomes:
t + 13 = 43.
Next, we'll isolate t by subtracting 13 from both sides of the equation:
t + 13 - 13 = 43 - 13,
which simplifies to:
t = 30.
Therefore, the value of t is 30.
