I'm going to assume that you mean 5t = 3t - 10.

You solve for t in the following way. First combine like terms by subtracting 3t from both sides of the equation:

5t - 3t = 3t - 3t - 10,

2t = -10.

Next, isolate t by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

2t/2 = -10/2,

t = -5.

To verify that this is the solution, plug this value of t back into the original equation:

5(-5) = 3(-5) - 10,

-25 = -15 - 10,

-25 = -25.

Since -25 does in fact equal -25, our value for t is correct.
