t = 0

Explanation:

color(blue)(4t) + 1 /3 =color(blue)(t) + 5/6 +color(blue)(t) - 3/6

color(blue)(4t - t -t )= 5/6 - 3/6 - 1 /3

color(blue)(4t - 2t )= 5/6 - 3/6 - 1 /3

2t = 5/6 - 3/6 - 1 /3

The L.C.M of the denominators ( 6 ,6 and 3) of the L.H.S =6

2t = 5/6 - 3/6 - (1 *2 ) /(3 *2 )

2t = 5/6 - 3/6 - (2 ) /(6 )

2t = (5 -3 -2 ) /6

2t = (5 -5 ) /6

2t = (0) /6

2t = 0

t = 0 / 2

t = 0
