You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1/5)t-0.4+(2/5)t = 0.6-(1/10)t
--------------
(3/5)t = 1 - (1/10)t
(6/10)t = 1 - (1/10)t
(7/10)t = 1
7t = 10
t = 10/7
------------------
(1/5)t-0.4+(2/5)t = 0.6-(1/10)t
Checking the answer:
(1/5)(10/7)-0.4+(2/5)(10/7) = 0.6-(1/10)(10/7)
(2/7) - 0.4 + (4/7) = 0.6 - (1/7)
(7/7) = 1
1 = 1
