    Expand:

    = t + 3 + 8(5 + t)

    = t + 3 + 40 + 8t

    = 9t + 43

    Answer: 9t + 43

    Value:

    9t + 43 = 0

    9t = - 43

    t = - 43/9 or - 4 7/9

    Answer: t = - 43/9 or - 4 7/9

    First expand the bracket 8(5 + t) -> 40 + 8t

    Then, the best way is to put the like terms together i.e. numbers together and the unknowns together.

    t + 8t + 3 + 40 = 0

    I am assuming they add up to zero. So move the numbers to the right side of the equal sign.

    t + 8t = -3 - 40

    9t = -43

    t = -43/9 = -4 7/9 = -4.7777....
