| 18 | ( | t | − | 56 | ) | = | 10 | ( | 80 | − | t | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 18 | t | − | 18 | × | 56 |
| = | 18 | t | − | 1008 |
| 18 | t | − | 1008 | = | 10 | ( | 80 | − | t | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | × | 80 | − | 10 | t |
| = | 800 | − | 10 | t |
| 18 | t | − | 1008 | = | 800 | − | 10 | t |
| 18 | t | + | 10 | t | = | 800 | + | 1008 |
| 28 | t | = | 800 | + | 1008 |
| 28 | t | = | 1808 |
| t | = | 1808 | ÷ | 28 |
| = | 1808 | × | 1 28 |
| = | 452 | × | 1 7 |
| t | = | 452 7 |
| t | = | 64.571429 |
