Solve equation (unrecognized function or variable)

Dear MatLab Comunity,
I have to solve this equation but it keeps saying that the variable 't' is unrecognized. I should have the plugins for the function 'solve' so I don't understand where is the problem.
N = 5.62
R = 6.40
W = 600
eqn = (10 + 2.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) - 8.*W.^(4).*t.^(4))./(10 +23.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) + 4.*W.^(4).*t.^(4)) -N./R
S = solve(eqn, t)
Any help would be appreciated!
All the best,
Alex

% define t as symbolic
syms t
N = 5.62;
R = 6.40;
W = 600;
eqn = (10 + 2.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) - 8.*W.^(4).*t.^(4))./(10 +23.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) + 4.*W.^(4).*t.^(4)) -N./R
eqn = 
S = solve(eqn, t)
S = 
% scalar solutions, only real
S1 = vpasolve(eqn,t, [-Inf Inf])
S1 =

Thank! I had to install another plug in but it works, but what if I want a single scalar number?
Then use:
% define t as symbolic
syms t
N = 5.62;
R = 6.40;
W = 600;
eqn = (10 + 2.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) - 8.*W.^(4).*t.^(4))./(10 +23.*W.^(2).*t.^(2) + 4.*W.^(4).*t.^(4)) -N./R
eqn = 
% scalar solutions, only real
S1 = vpasolve(eqn,t, [-Inf Inf])
S1 = 
change bounds from -Inf to zero to get only the positive solution:
S2 = vpasolve(eqn,t, [0 Inf])
S2 =
