t=24.5

Explanation:

Start by adding the numbers on the right-hand side:

5.4=1.7+0.2+(t7)

You get,

5.4=1.9+(t7)

Take the 1.9 to the other side and flip the sign.

5.41.9=(t7)

Subtract,

3.5=(t7)

Since t is being divided by 7 in the fraction, 7 will go by multiplication,

3.5×7=t

Multiply the numbers,

24.5=t

OR

t=24.5
