Answer Ok Ashlee, for this kind of equation, we will use a very nice trick.
a trick which is a rule claiming that a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b).
In our case, a=t-4, & b=t+4, so our equation now becomes :
a^2=b^2+32 --> a^2-b^2=32, let's apply the rule we get :
(a-b)(a+b)=32. Let's substitute a & b :
[t-4-(t+4)]*[t-4+(t+4)]=32
[t-4-t-4]*[t-4+t+4]=32
[-8]*[2t]=32
-16t=32--> t=-2.
