#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#
