\frac{1}{3}t+\frac{8}{3}=t
Divide each term of t+8 by 3 to get \frac{1}{3}t+\frac{8}{3}.
\frac{1}{3}t+\frac{8}{3}-t=0
Subtract t from both sides.
-\frac{2}{3}t+\frac{8}{3}=0
Combine \frac{1}{3}t and -t to get -\frac{2}{3}t.
-\frac{2}{3}t=-\frac{8}{3}
Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
t=-\frac{8}{3}\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{3}{2}, the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{3}.
t=\frac{-8\left(-3\right)}{3\times 2}
Multiply -\frac{8}{3} times -\frac{3}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
t=\frac{24}{6}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-8\left(-3\right)}{3\times 2}.
t=4
Divide 24 by 6 to get 4.
