Answer: t=2

Explanation:

First subtract 12t from both sides, remember you are isolating the variable to one side. 16t - 12t is 4t.

Now you have 4t=8 now divide 4 from both sides

4t divided by 4 is t and 8 divided by 4 is 2

Therefore, t=2

You can also check if you multiply 12 times 2 plus 8 which would give you 32 which is equal to 16 times 2.
