Rearrange an equation to solve for a different variable

Hello,

I am trying to rearrange the equation "eqn" to solve for (isolate the variable) "t" but my current code will not produce an answer.

Is there a different function/ solver I should use instead?

Thank you.

If the explicit solution cannot be found, then it is probably a transcendental equation, just like this one:

.

So, you need to employ the numerical approach:

fun = @(x) x + sin(x) - 2;  % nonlinear function
x_guess = 1;                % initial guess
sol = fzero(fun, x_guess)   % solution

sol = 1.1061
