Lowest Common Denominator! Since this is an equation, you can multiply left member and right member by the common denominator and your fractions will be eliminated.

What is the lowest common denominator in your equation? 4%2A5%2At. Your second step then is:
4%2A5%2At%285%2F%284t%29%29=4%2A5%2At%2A%287%2F%285t%29-2%29
and simplify from that, and then solve.
