Solve the equation for \( t \).

\[ 5t - 8 = 3t + 12 \]

5 t − 8 = 3 t + 12
Add 8 to both sides of the equation: 5 t = 3 t + 20
Subtract 3 t from both sides of the equation: 2 t = 20
Divide both sides by 2 :
t = 10

5t-8=3t+12
Add 8 to each side
5t=3t+20
Subtract 3t from each side
2t=20
Divide 20 by 2t
20÷2t=10
t=10
