\(\frac{t}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{9}{16}\) Multiply both sides by 8 to get t out of the fraction
t - \(\frac{3 x 8}{4}\) = \(\frac{9 x 8}{16}\) Simplify the numerators
t - \(\frac{24}{4}\) = \(\frac{72}{16}\) Divide the fractions
t - 6 = 4 \(\frac{1}{2}\) Add 6 to both sides
t = 10 \(\frac{1}{2}\)
