You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have three variables (x, t and n) and only one equation. So you can't solve explicitly. You can only get variables in terms of the other ones. Let solve for x
tn=+2x%2B%28n-1%295x
t%2An+=+x+%282+%2B+5n+-+5%29+
t%2An+=+x+%285n-3%29
%28t%2An%29%2F%285n-3%29+=+x+
You can use the same idea to solve for n in terms of x and t
And also t in terms of x and n
