Maple syntax for solving for t:

solve(14.2857*exp(-t)-0.0045exp(-1.0175*t)-14.2857*exp(-(t-5))-0.0045exp(-1.0175*(t-5))+7.368=0, t);

Note: Equation was obtained from chemical engineering process control problem. This is the case for t > 5. For t < 5, we have:

solve(-0.2457+14.2857*exp(-t)-0.0045exp(-1.0175*t)+7.368=0, t);

I have tried multiple times for both cases, but Maple still runs forever. How can I solve this issue?
