| 5 | t | ÷ | 2 | + | 80 | = | 3 | ( | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 | − | 80 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 | t | + | 80 |
5 2 | t | + | 80 | = | 3 | ( | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 | − | 80 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 | − | 3 | × | 80 |
| = | 75 2 | t | − | 240 |
5 2 | t | + | 80 | = | 75 2 | t | − | 240 |
5 2 | t | − | 75 2 | t | = | - | 240 | − | 80 |
| - | 35 | t | = | - | 240 | − | 80 |
| - | 35 | t | = | - | 320 |
| 320 | = | 35 | t |
| 35 | t | = | 320 |
| t | = | 320 | ÷ | 35 |
| = | 320 | × | 1 35 |
| = | 64 | × | 1 7 |
| t | = | 64 7 |
| t | = | 9.142857 |
