Bot GPT 3.5 To interpret the meaning of the solution, let us first solve the equation:
5(t-2) = -10
By distributing the 5 to both terms within the parentheses, we get:
5t - 10 = -10
To isolate the variable, let us add 10 to both sides of the equation:
5t = 0
Finally, dividing both sides by 5, we find:
t = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is t = 0.
Interpreting the meaning of this solution depends on the context of the problem. In general, this equation represents an equality where the left side is a linear expression (5 multiplied by the difference of t and 2) and the right side is a constant (-10).
In the context of a word problem, we can interpret the solution t = 0 as the value of t that satisfies the equation. It means that when the expression 5(t-2) is equal to -10, the value of t that makes this true is 0.
