very confused about this and how to execute it to be honest ​

Answer 1

24 1/2 = 24.5, 5 1/4 = 5.25

24.5 = t + 5.25
subtract 5.25 from both sides
19.25 = t

19.25 = 19 1/4

Answer 2

t = 19 1/4

Explanation:

24 1/2 = t + 5 1/4

49/2 = t + 21/4

t + 21/4 = 49/2

t = 49/2 - 21/4

t = 98/4 - 21/4

t = 77/4

t = 19 1/4
