(t+5)-4(t-2)]/8 =1/3
-3t+13=8/3
-3t= 8/3-104/3= -96/3
t= 96/9= 32/3

(t+5)/8 - (t-2)/2 = 1/3.........X by 24
=> 3(t+5) - 12(t-2) = 8(1)
remove brackets & the rest is easy

I can give you a hint to get started. First, remember that:
"(t + 5) / 8" is equal to "(t / 8) + (5 / 8)".
Alternatively, you could multiply both sides of the equation by 8 if the fractions bother you.
Keep at it.

(t+5)/8 - 4(t+2)/8 = 1/3
(t+5) - (4t+8) = 8/3
13 - 3t = 8/3
-3t = 47/3
t = -47/9
