Firstly, since we have D solved for both equations, we can use 50t = 42t + 500. Next, we need to subtract 42t from both sides. This gives us 8t = 500. After that, we need to divide both sides by 8. Our answer is t = 62.5.

We now need to solve for D. We need to plug 62.5 into t to solve this. I will use the equation D = 50t for this. D = 50(62.5) is 3,125. Therefore, D is 3,125.

t is 62.5, and D is 3,125.
