Answer:

X = (J+M)/K

Explanation:

Undo what has been done to the variable, in reverse order. The variable has been multiplied by K and M subtracted from the result. So, we first add M (to undo the subtraction), then we divide by K (to undo the multiplication).

KX = J +M . . . . . . M added to the given equation

X = (J + M)/K . . . . the result of that is then divided by K

___

Since these are all capital letters, we might assume they represent vectors and/or matrices. If so, the "divide by K" step needs to be "multiply on the left by K^-1, the matrix inverse of K."

Then your solution looks like

X = K⁻¹·(J + M)
