1 10 | ( | t | − | 20 | ) | = | 1 20 | ( | 50 | − | t | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 10 | t | − | 1 10 | × | 20 |
| = | 1 10 | t | − | 2 |
1 10 | t | − | 2 | = | 1 20 | ( | 50 | − | t | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 20 | × | 50 | − | 1 20 | t |
| = | 5 2 | − | 1 20 | t |
1 10 | t | − | 2 | = | 5 2 | − | 1 20 | t |
1 10 | t | + | 1 20 | t | = | 5 2 | + | 2 |
3 20 | t | = | 5 2 | + | 2 |
3 20 | t | = | 9 2 |
| t | = | 9 2 | ÷ | 3 20 |
| = | 9 2 | × | 20 3 |
| = | 3 | × | 10 |
| t | = | 30 |
