You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t^2 - 1/6 = 35/6
t^2=35/6 + 1/6
t^2=36/6
t= sqrt 36/6
t=6/ sqrt 6
t= sqrt6 * sqrt6 / sqrt6
t= sqrt6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


        This equation has TWO solutions, but @mananth presented only one in his post.
        I came to provide a complete correct solution.


t^2 - 1/6 = 35/6
t^2 = 35/6 + 1/6
t^2 = 36/6
t^2 = 6
t= +/- sqrt%286%29

ANSWER.   The given equation has two solutions.  One solution is  sqrt%286%29.  The other solution is  -sqrt%286%29.

Solved correctly and completely.
