To solve the equation, we can start by simplifying both sides:
4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5
4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5
Next, we can combine like terms:
4 - t = 3t - 8
Rearranging the terms:
4 + 8 = 3t + t
12 = 4t
Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for t:
12/4 = t
t = 3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is t = 3.
