Answer

$t=-1$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 5t+16=6-5t$ Add $5t-16$ to both sides. $\Rightarrow 5t+16+5t-16=6-5t+5t-16$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 10t=-10$ Divide both sides by $10$. $\Rightarrow \frac{10t}{10}=-\frac{10}{10}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow t=-1$. Check:- $\Rightarrow 5(-1)+16=6-5(-1)$ $\Rightarrow -5+16=6+5$ $\Rightarrow 11=11$ True. Hence, the solution is $t=-1$.
