Question

What is the answer to k/5+3-3k=-6k

Answer 1

(1/5k - 3k) + 3 = −6k

−14/5k + 3 = −6k Combine likes terms

−14/5k + 3 + 6k = −6k + 6k Add 6k to both sides

16/5k + 3 = 0

16/5k + 3 − 3 = 0 − 3 Subtract 3 from both sides

16/5k = −3

(5/16) * (16/5k) = (5/16) * (−3) Multiply both sides by 5/16

k = −15/16

Answer 2

k/5+3-3k=-6k
+6k on both sides
k/5+3+3k=0
-3 on both sides
k/5+3k=-3
add like terms
4k/5=-3
multiply both sides by 5
4k= -15
divide both sides by 4
k= 3.75
