Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
5t = 5
divide equation by 5 to get rid of it
t = 1
This is because 5t means "5 times t". The t is a placeholder for a number.
To solve for t, we divide both sides by 5
5t = 5
5t/5 = 5/5
t = 1
Note how 5t = 5 becomes 5*1 = 5 after replacing t with 1. Because 5*1 = 5 is a true statement, this helps confirm we have the correct answer.
