Answer: k = 5/3
Explanation:
To solve, we will isolate the variable, k, by using inverse operations.
Given:
2/5k + 1/6 = 3/10k + 1/3
Subtract 1/6 from both sides of the equation:
2/5k = 3/10k + 1/6
Subtract 3/10k from both sides of the equation:
1/10k = 1/6
Divide both sides of the equation by (1/10), which is the same as multiplying both sides by 10:
k = 5/3
