Answer:

m = 2k/v²

Explanation:

I think you mean solve for m, not k

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2

2 * 1/2 *(mv²) = 2 * k

Rewrite the expression.

1*(mv²) = 2*k

Multiply mv² by 1

mv² = 2*k

Divide each term by v² and simplify

mv²/v² = 2k/v²

mv²/v² cancel out and you get

m = 2k/v²
