The answer: " k = -10 " .
__________________________________________
Given: (- 6/5) k = 12 ; Solve for: "k" ;
__________________________________________
Multiply each side of the equation by "5" ; to get rid of the "fraction":
5* (-6/5) k = 12 * 5 ;
to get:
- 6 k = 60 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "-6" ;
________________________________________
- 6 k / 6 = 60 / 6 ;
to get:
-1 k = 10 ;
_______________________
Divide each side of the equation by "-1" ;
to isolate "k" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "k" ;
________________________
- 1 k / -1 = 10 / -1 ;
________________________
to get: k = -10 .
