The main idea is to get the variable t on one side and the numbers on the other. Add 9t to each side to elimate the t's from the left of the equation
8-9t=21t-17Add 9t to each side to elimate the t's from the left of the equation
8-9t%2B9t=21t-17%2B9t
8=30t-17
8%2B17=30t-17%2B17 Add 17 to each side to eliminate the 17 on the right hand side of the equation
25=30t Divide each side by 30 to eliminate all numbers on the right hand side of the equation
25%2F30=30t%2F30
5%2F6=t
