A birch tree that is 4 ft tall grows at a rate of 1 ft per year. A larch tree that is 6 ft tall grows at a rate of 0.5 ft per year.

Let the variable t represent time in years and h represent height in feet. In how many years will the trees be the same height?

Which system of equations can be used to solve this problem?

A.{h=4-t

{h=6-0.5t

B.{h=5t

{h=6.5t

C.{h=1+4t

{h=0.5+6t

D.{h=4+t

{h=6+0.5t
