I think it means to take the given equation:
3n+-+t+=+s and solve for the varible that is after the semi-colon, which is "t." This means getting all the "t" terms on one side and all the "non-t" terms on the other side.

Start by subtracting 3n from each side of the equation:
3n+-+3n+-+t+=+s+-+3n
-t+=+s+-+3n

Divide both sides by -1:
+t+=+%28s-3n%29+%2F%28-1%29+

To avoid negative denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by -1
t+=+%28-s+%2B+3n%29%2F+1 = 3n - s
