| 80 | + | 5 | t | ÷ | 2 | = | 3 | ( | 80 | − | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | + | 5 2 | t |
| 80 | + | 5 2 | t | = | 3 | ( | 80 | − | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 80 | − | 3 | × | 25 | t | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 240 | − | 75 2 | t |
| 80 | + | 5 2 | t | = | 240 | − | 75 2 | t |
5 2 | t | + | 75 2 | t | = | 240 | − | 80 |
| 40 | t | = | 240 | − | 80 |
| 40 | t | = | 160 |
| t | = | 160 | ÷ | 40 |
| = | 160 | × | 1 40 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| t | = | 4 |
