If you are going to simplify you have to solve for t
2t+5-1(subtract 1 from 5 to get 4)
2t+4(move 4 to other side it becomes a negative 4)
2t=-4(divide by 2 to both sides,2 cancels and 4 becomes 2)
t=-2(answer t equals negative 2)

2t +5-1
step1-subtract 1 from 5-(2t +4)
step2-take 2 common-{2(T+2)}
there should have been an equal to sign to simplify it further

2t + 4

Step 1.
2t + 5 - 1 = 2t + 4 --------> because we want to simplify
Step 2.
2t + 4 = 2 (t+2) -----------> then we factor out the 2
Final answer is 2 (t+2)

2t+4
2t+4-4
2t
that's as much as you can simplify something without an equals sign in the equation.
