(t/3 -2)=(3t/8)
\n" ); document.write( "t/3-2=3t/8 subtract 3t/8
\n" ); document.write( "t/3-3t/8=2 combine the fractions by finding the common denominator (3*8=24)
\n" ); document.write( "(8*t-3*3t)/24=2 multiply the numerator terms.
\n" ); document.write( "(8t-9t)/24=2
\n" ); document.write( "-t/24=2 cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "-t=48
\n" ); document.write( "t=-48 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "-48/3-2=3*-48/8
\n" ); document.write( "-16-2=-144/8
\n" ); document.write( "-18=-18\r
