Question

What is the solution to the linear equation? 6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12 k = 0.5 k = 2 k = 7.3 k = 9

Answer 1

6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12
3k = 1.5
k = 0.5

answer
k = 0.5 (first choice)

Answer 2

The value of k is 0.5

A is correct

Explanation:

Given: 6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12

To solve: k

6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12

Subtract 3k and 10.5 both sides

6k - 3k + 10.5 - 10.5 = 3k - 3k + 12 - 10.5 (Combine the like terms)

3k = 1.5 ( Divide by 3)

k = 0.5

Hence, The value of k is 0.5
