\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2B3t%29%2F4+=+-t%2F8\" Equate both sides (make both of their denominators, 8)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2814%2B6t%29%2F8+=+-t%2F8\" One side already has a denominator of 8 so we only need to multiply the left hand side by 2 to make its denominator 8 as well\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"14%2B6t=-t\" As we have common denominators, we can get rid of them now, they don't matter, our equation is balanced\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"14%2B7t=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7t=-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
