If x = 1- 4t and y = 2t - 2, then for what value of t does x = y?
If x = 1- 4t and y = 2t - 2, then for what value of t does x = y?
Answer/Solution
1/2
Steps/Work
We are given x = 1 – 4t and y = 2t – 2, 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 – 4t for x and 2t – 2 for y in the equation x = y. This gives us:
1 – 4t = 2t – 2
3 = 6t
1/2 = t
The answer is B.
1 – 4t = 2t – 2
3 = 6t
1/2 = t
The answer is B.
