Jamie,
I dont know if you need inverse operations but the equations can be solved with the following steps..
Eq 1: 19 = h/3 -8
Add 8 to both sides of equation
19 + 8 = h/3
or h/3 = 27
Multiply both sides by 3
h = 27*3 = 81
Eq 2: 5t + 8 = 53
Subtract 8 from both sides
5t = 45
Divide both sides by 5
t = 9
