| 2 | ( | t | − | 41 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 55 | − | t | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | t | − | 2 | × | 41 |
| = | 2 | t | − | 82 |
| 2 | t | − | 82 | = | 3 | ( | 55 | − | t | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 55 | − | 3 | t |
| = | 165 | − | 3 | t |
| 2 | t | − | 82 | = | 165 | − | 3 | t |
| 2 | t | + | 3 | t | = | 165 | + | 82 |
| 5 | t | = | 165 | + | 82 |
| 5 | t | = | 247 |
| t | = | 247 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 247 | × | 1 5 |
| t | = | 247 5 |
| t | = | 49.4 |
