| 8 | + | t | − | ( | 2 | + | 4 | t | ) | = | 10 | + | 2 | t | − | ( | 8 | + | t | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | + | t | − | 2 | − | 4 | t |
| = | 6 | − | 3 | t |
| 6 | − | 3 | t | = | 10 | + | 2 | t | − | ( | 8 | + | t | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | + | 2 | t | − | 8 | − | t |
| = | 2 | + | 1 | t |
| 6 | − | 3 | t | = | 2 | + | 1 | t |
| - | 3 | t | − | 1 | t | = | 2 | − | 6 |
| - | 4 | t | = | 2 | − | 6 |
| - | 4 | t | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 4 | t |
| 4 | t | = | 4 |
| t | = | 4 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 |
| t | = | 1 |
