SOLUTION:
This is a matter of simple cross multiplication as follows:
(1) Multiply the numerator on the left by the denominator on the right. And the denominator on the left by the numerator on the right. Like this:
5%2F4t=7%2F5%28t-2%29
5%2A%285t-2%29+=+7%2A%284t%29
(2) Distribute the constant terms
25t-10+=+28t
(3) Isolate t on one side of the equation
-3t+=+10
t=-10%2F3
