We have to find out the value of t when x = y, so equate x and y and get the value of t.lionsshare wrote:If x = 1- 3t and y = 2t - 1, then for what value of t does x = y?

Anyone, please share the solution to this problem. Thanks!
We are given x = 1 – 3t 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 – 3t) for x and (2t – 1) for y in the equation x = y. This gives us:lionsshare wrote:If x = 1- 3t and y = 2t - 1, then for what value of t does x = y?
