Final answer:

To find the value of K in the equation K + 13/6 = 7/4, we subtract 13/6 from both sides and simplify. However, the solution -5/12 does not match any of the provided options, which suggests there might be a mistake in the problem setup.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation K + 13/6 = 7/4, we need to isolate the variable K. This requires moving the fraction 13/6 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.

Step 1: Subtract 13/6 from both sides of the equation.

K + 13/6 - 13/6 = 7/4 - 13/6

Step 2: Simplify the right side by finding a common denominator, which is 12, and subtracting the fractions.

K = (7 × 3) / (4 × 3) - (13 × 2) / (6 × 2)

Step 3: Perform the subtraction.

K = 21/12 - 26/12

Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction.

K = -5/12

However, in this case, none of the answer choices match with -5/12. There might be an error in the question, the answer choices, or the initial equation presented to us.
