Use arithmetic operations to move all of the known values to one side of the equation.

Explanation:

In this case we need to multiply BOTH sides by 12. That keeps the equation valid, and the result is the elimination of the denominator 12 on the right-hand side:
#(12/8)*12 = (t/12)*12#

#144/8 = t #

18 = t
