Learn to use pure text to properly express algebraic expressions and numeric expressions. You show at best comprehensible, 5t/2-1=t-2/3, which when put between the system's triple brace rendering tags is 5t%2F2-1=t-2%2F3.

Your basic arithmetic skills still hold. Lowest common denominator is 2%2A3=6. Start with multiplying left and right members by 2%2A3 and simplify and solve for t.
