Back question 44 of 106 Next

Explanation

The correct answer is 60 . Subtracting t from both sides of the given equation yields 2(3t-10)=40+3t. Applying the distributive property to the left-hand side of this equation yields 6t-20=40+3t. Adding 20 to both sides of this equation yields 6t=60+3t. Subtracting 3 t from both sides of this equation yields 3t=60. Therefore, the value of 3 t is 60 .
