| 3 | t | ÷ | 8 | = | ( | 8 | − | 2 | t | ) | ÷ | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 8 | t |
3 8 | t | = | ( | 8 | − | 2 | t | ) | ÷ | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | × | 1 10 | − | 2 | t | × | 1 10 |
| = | 4 5 | − | 1 5 | t |
3 8 | t | = | 4 5 | − | 1 5 | t |
3 8 | t | + | 1 5 | t | = | 4 5 |
23 40 | t | = | 4 5 |
| t | = | 4 5 | ÷ | 23 40 |
| = | 4 5 | × | 40 23 |
| = | 4 | × | 8 23 |
| t | = | 32 23 |
| t | = | 1.391304 |
