Evaluate
−7(t−12)×5t
Multiply the terms
−35(t−12)t
Multiply the terms
−35t(t−12)
68=−35t(t−12)
Swap the sides
−35t(t−12)=68
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
−35t(t−12)
Apply the distributive property
−35t×t−(−35t×12)
Multiply the terms
−35t2−(−35t×12)
Multiply the numbers
−35t2−(−420t)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−35t2+420t
−35t2+420t=68
Move the expression to the left side
−35t2+420t−68=0
Multiply both sides
35t2−420t+68=0
Substitute a=35,b=−420 and c=68 into the quadratic formula t=2a−b±b2−4ac
