8t and 5t are like terms so you can do the subtraction leaving you with 3t = -25. divide both sides by 3 plug the resulting value of t back into the original to check.

start by combining like terms. 8t - 5t is like 8 dollars minus 5 dollars.
then you will have 3t = -25
to get the t alone you have to divide the (3t) by 3.
If you divide one side by 3, you must do the same to the other side.
then you have:
t = -25 divided by 3.
solve for t.
Hope that helped you.
