I guess you meant to type t^2/3 = 4
We first multiply both sides by 3 to remove the fraction.
This leaves us with t^2 = 12
We now take the square root of both sides.
t = sqrt{12}
Of course, we can further-break down sqrt{12}.
sqrt{12} = sqrt{4} times sqrt{3}, where sqrt{4} is a perfect square.
Final answer for t = 2(sqrt{3})
