First of all, you subtract 5 from both sides, and obtain
#5+t-5\geq \frac{3}{4}-5#
which means
#t \geq \frac{3}{4}-5#
Now, we only need to compute #\frac{3}{4}-5# to finish, and since #5=\frac{20}{4}#, we get that #\frac{3}{4}-5=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{20}{4}=-\frac{17}{4}#.

The answer is thus #t\geq -\frac{17}{4}#.
