8t-%286t-1%29%2F2=5
Clear the fraction by multiplying every term of
both sides by red%282%29%2A%22%22%29

red%282%29%2A8t-red%282%29%2Aexpr%28%286t-1%29%2F2%29=red%282%29%2A5

16t-cross%28red%282%29%29%2Aexpr%28%286t-1%29%2Fcross%282%29%29=10

16t-%286t-1%29=10

16t-6t%2B1=10

10t%2B1=10

10t=9

t=9%2F10
