Final answer:

To solve the equation, simplify terms, isolate the variable k, and check the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation, we need to simplify the terms and isolate the variable k:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2k to eliminate the denominators.
  2. Distribute and simplify each side of the equation.
  3. Combine like terms and move all terms with k to one side of the equation.
  4. Combine like terms again and isolate k.
  5. Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of k.
  6. The value of k obtained is the solution to the equation.

Remember to always check the solution by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equation.
