Question

Given the equation 6/x=3/k+2, and the constraints x ≠ 0 and k ≠-2, what is x in terms of k?

A) x=2k+4
B) x=2k+12
C) x=2k-1/4
D) x=1/4+12

Answer 1

A) 2k+4

Explanation:

To solve for terms of x, we need to. she sure that x is on its own side while every other term is on the other side.

To start, we will cross multiply. If we have a/b=c/d, then ad=bc

We can perform the same calculation here,

6/x=3/(k+2)

6(k+2)=3x

Divide both sides by 3

2(k+2)=x

x=2k+4
