I think you're trying to set up a Future Value problem.
for a prinicipal, p, at rate, r, for t periods.
The capital T and small t are not the same.
Usually its written like this,

where FV is the future value of an investment.
Your example then becomes

and simplifying

So, if you invest $8,000 at a rate of 8%, in 9 1/2 years, the investment will be worth $16,619.41.
