Work Step by Step
It Tamara sold t papayas, then Will sold t-3.
$5t+7(t-3)=147$ distributive property
$5t+7t-21=147$ combine like terms
$12t-21=147$ add 21 to both sides
$12t-21+21=147+21$
$12t=168$ divide both sides by 12
$12t\div12=168\div12$
$t=14$
Will sold
$t-3=14-3=11$
Together they sold
$14+11=25$
