Answer: x = -0.5k
Explanation:
If we have this equation:
x − 0.5(k − 3x) = 1.5x − k
Expand the equation parentheses on the left side of the equation:
-0.5k + 2.5x = 1.5x − k
Add -1.5x to both sides:
-0.5k + 2.5x -1.5x = -k + 1.5x - 1.5x
-0.5k + x = -k
Add 0.5k to both sides:
-0.5k + 0.5k + x = -k +0.5k
x = -0.5k
