Which equation is equivalent to –k 0.03 1.01k = –2.45 – 1.81k?

–100k 3 101k = –245 – 181k
–100k 300 101k = –245 – 181k
–k 3 101k = –245 – 181k
–k 300 101k = –245 – 181k

For this case we have the following equation:


-k + 0.03 + 1.01k = -2.45 - 1.81k

An equivalent way to write this equation is to multiply both sides of the equation by a scalar.

When multiplying both sides of the equation by 100 we have:


100 * (- k + 0.03 + 1.01k) = 100 * (- 2.45 - 1.81k)

By doing distributive property we have:


-100k + 3 + 101k = -245 - 181k

Answer:

An equation that is equivalent is:


-100k + 3 + 101k = -245 - 181k
