Answer:

k =
(3)/(2)

Explanation:

Given


(k)/(3) + 4 - 5k = - 2k

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

k + 12 - 15k = - 6k

- 14k + 12 = - 6k ( add 14k to both sides )

12 = 8k ( divide both sides by 8 )

k =
(12)/(8) =
(3)/(2)

Answer:

Solve for k by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Exact Form: k = 3/2

Decimal Form: k = 1.5

Mixed Number Form: k = 1 1/2

Hope this helps!
