To solve for t in the equation -4(t-13) = -8, you can follow these steps:
1. Distribute the -4 on the left side of the equation:
 -4t + 52 = -8
2. Now, subtract 52 from both sides of the equation to isolate -4t on the left side:
 -4t = -8 - 52
 -4t = -60
3. Finally, divide both sides by -4 to solve for t:
 t = -60 / -4
 t = 15
So, the solution to the equation is t = 15.
