Write function and value: Write down the function and the value for f(t) that we are looking for.We are given f(t)=−2t+5 and we want to find the value of 't' when f(t)=13.
Set function equal to 13: Set the function equal to 13 and solve for t.So, we have −2t+5=13.
Isolate terms with 't': Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate terms with 't'.−2t+5−5=13−5This simplifies to −2t=8.
Solve for 't': Divide both sides of the equation by −2 to solve for 't'.−2t/−2=8/−2This gives us t=−4.
