Question

Solve for k: 8k + 2m=3m+4

Answer 1

Isolate the k. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 2m from both sides

8k + 2m (-2m) = 3m (-2m) + 4

8k = m + 4

Next, divide 8 from both sides

(8k)/8 = (m + 4)/8

k = (m + 4)/8

k = m/8 + 1/2

k = m/8 + 1/2 is your answer

hope this helps
