| 25 | ( | t | − | 56 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 80 | − | t | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 25 | t | − | 25 | × | 56 |
| = | 25 | t | − | 1400 |
| 25 | t | − | 1400 | = | 3 | ( | 80 | − | t | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 80 | − | 3 | t |
| = | 240 | − | 3 | t |
| 25 | t | − | 1400 | = | 240 | − | 3 | t |
| 25 | t | + | 3 | t | = | 240 | + | 1400 |
| 28 | t | = | 240 | + | 1400 |
| 28 | t | = | 1640 |
| t | = | 1640 | ÷ | 28 |
| = | 1640 | × | 1 28 |
| = | 410 | × | 1 7 |
| t | = | 410 7 |
| t | = | 58.571429 |
