How do you make the subject of w=3t+11, t?

Hi there!

To make the subject of w = 3t + 11 t, we need to have t equal to something.

We can do this by first

moving t to one side by subtracting 3t from both sides:

w - 3t = 11

moving w to the other side by subtracting w from both sides of the equation:

-3t = 11 - w

dividing both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate t:

-t = (11 - w) ÷ 3

and turning t into a positive by multiplying the equation by -1.

t = (-11 + w) ÷ 3

That's the answer.

Hope this helps!

W = 3t + 11

Take away 11 from both sides:
w - 11 = 3t

Divide by 3 on both sides:
(w-11)/3 = t

Flip the LHS and RHS:
t = (w-11)/3

t = (w-11)/3
