| 5 | ( | t | − | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) | + | 4 | ( | t | − | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) | = | 36 5 | t |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | t | − | 5 | × | 9 | ÷ | 10 | + | 4 | ( | t | − | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 5 | t | − | 9 2 | + | 4 | ( | t | − | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 5 | t | − | 9 2 | + | 4 | t | − | 4 | × | 9 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 5 | t | − | 9 2 | + | 4 | t | − | 18 5 |
| = | 9 | t | − | 81 10 |
| 9 | t | − | 81 10 | = | 36 5 | t |
| 9 | t | − | 36 5 | t | = | 81 10 |
9 5 | t | = | 81 10 |
| t | = | 81 10 | ÷ | 9 5 |
| = | 81 10 | × | 5 9 |
| = | 9 2 | × | 1 |
| t | = | 9 2 |
| t | = | 4.5 |
