If you mean:
s= (8/1)-t
Then:
t=s-8/1
t=s-8 ans.
If you mean:
s=8/(1-t)
Then:
s(1-t)=8
s-st=8
-st=8-s
t=(8-s)/-s ans.

s=8%2F%281-t%29....multiply all terms by 1-t
:
%281-t%29s=8cross%281-t%29%2Fcross%281-t%29
:
s-ts=8.....subtract s from both sides
:
-ts=8-s....divide by -s on both sides
:
cross%28-s%29t%2Fcross%28-s%29=-%288-s%29%2Fs
:
highlight%28t=%28s-8%29%2Fs%29
