You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is SO INTIMIDATING!! It probably is really easy if you dare to look at it.
First, simplify the numerator at the very top: 3*8 is 24, and add 11, which is 35.
Second, in the middle, go ahead and multiply the (2t)*(3*8) which is 2t*24 or 48t. Then simplify the fraction that follows, which is  and simplifies to 4t. This combines with the 48t, so 48t - 4t = 44t.
Third, the denominator at the bottom likewise simplifies, with the 3 and -3 subtracting out, to  .
The net result is this: divided by
Invert and multiply:
As you can see the t's all divide out, the 2 divides out, and you are left with  .
