Yes it is correct.
You can always move a term from one side of the equation to the other side of the equation as long as you change its sign. This is called transposition.

Correct

Yes, it's correct.
Starting with x-5 = t, add the same thing to both sides of the equal sign. Add +5.
Now you've got x - 5 + 5 = t + 5
Notice that you can group (-5+5) on the left side and simpify it to zero.
x + (-5+5) = t + 5
x + (0) = t + 5
zero plus a number is that number, so
x = t + 5

Yes the 5 changes from - to + when it crosses the =.

Quite correct

x - 5 = t, therefore x - 5 + 5 = t + 5
x - 5 + 5 = t + 5
x = t + 5
so you are absolutely correct

Right.
When the -5 goes to the other side of the equal sign then it changes to +5

Yes thats right.
When you move the -5 over the equals sign (=) you also do the opposite sign so subtraction becomes addition!
What you confused over though?

yep you are right, have confidence in yourself. if your think you are right go with, don't wait until someone tells you that you are right. people are less likely to admit when others are correct, its always a lot easier for people to concentrate on peoples failures
