If x = 1- 5t and y = 2t - 1, then for what value of t does x = y?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 5/2  B) 3/2  C) 2/3  D) 2/7  E) 0
We are given x = 1 – 5t and y = 2t – 1, and we need to determine the value for t when x = y. We should notice that both x and y are already in terms of t. Thus, we can substitute 1 – 5t for x and 2t – 1 for y in the equation x = y. This gives us:   1 – 5t = 2t – 1   2 = 7t   2/7 = t   The answer is 2/7.
