The value of t is 3/2 or 1.5

Explanation:

The given expression is 17/20 equals t plus -13/20.

Changing it into an equation form :

t + (-13/20) = 17/20

Keeping t alone on one side and constant terms to the another side,

t = (17/20) + (13/20)

Since the denominators are same, it is easy to simplify those fractions.

⇒ t = (17+13)/20

⇒ t = 30/20

⇒ t = 3/2

⇒ t = 1.5

The solution is t= 3/2 or t= 1.5
