See a solution process below:

First, subtract $color(red)(22)$ from each side of the inequality to isolate the $t$ term while keeping the inequality balanced:

$8t + 22 - color(red)(22) < 60 - color(red)(22)$

$8t + 0 < 38$

$8t < 38$

Now, divide each side of the inequality by $color(red)(8)$ to solve for $t$ while keeping the inequality balanced:

$(8t)/color(red)(8) < 38/color(red)(8)$

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8)))t)/cancel(color(red)(8)) < 19/4$

$t < 19/4$
