t=79

Explanation:

So first we combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
15+5t+5=415

This would be the 15 and the 5. Combining these will give us 20. So then we have
5t+20=415

Now we get the 5t by itself by subtracting 20 on both sides of the equation. Which gives us
5t+20-20=415-20

After combining like terms again we get
5t=395

Now we get t by itself by dividing both sides by 5. Which looks like
"5t"/"5"=395/5

After simplifying we get
t=79
