From each side of the equation, deduct 6t. Subtraction Property of Equality 
8t+56t=6t+16t 
Simplify 
2t+5=1 
Take 5 away from both sides of the equation. Subtraction Property of Equality 
2t+55=15 
Simplify 
2t=4 
Divide each side of the equation by 2. Division Property of Equality 
22t=42 
Simplify 
t=2 
Solution: 
8(2)+5=6(2)+1 
16+5=12+1 
11=11
