Write Function and Value: Write down the given function and the value for f(t). We are given the function f(t)=5t−7 and we need to find the value of t when f(t)=48.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation using the given value for f(t). We need to solve the equation 5t−7=48.
Add 7 to Isolate: Add 7 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with t.5t−7+7=48+7This simplifies to 5t=55.
Divide to Solve: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for t. 55t=555This simplifies to t=11.
