Leave log expression alone..
15log10(t+1) = 2 >> log10(t+1) = 2/15 >> 10^(2/15) = t+1 and solve "t" by the help of calculator..

80-15log10(t+1)=78
----------
That's not a question, it's an equation.
I'll assume you want to solve for t.
--------------
80-15log10(t+1)=78
15log(t+1) = 2
log(t+1) = 2/15
t%2B1+=+10%5E%282%2F15%29
t+1 =~ 1.359356
t =~ 0.359356
