-8+=+22t+-6t%5E2+
6t%5E2-22t+-8+=+0....all terms divide by 2
6t%5E2%2F2-22t%2F2+-8%2F2+=+0
3t%5E2-11t+-4+=+0...factor; write -11t as t-12t
3t%5E2%2Bt-12t-4+=+0...group
%283t%5E2%2Bt%29-%2812t%2B4%29+=+0
t%283t%2B1%29-4%283t%2B1%29+=+0
%28t-4%29%283t%2B1%29+=+0
solutions:
if %28t-4%29=+0=> highlight%28t=4%29
if %283t%2B1%29+=+0=>3t=-1=>highlight%28t=-1%2F3%29
