Answer:
k = 6
Explanation:
-
= 8 -
multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 2, 3 and 4 ) to clear the fractions
18k - 4(k + 3) = 96 - 3(k + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
18k - 4k - 12 = 96 - 3k - 6
14k - 12 = - 3k + 90 ( add 3k to both sides )
17k - 12 = 90 ( add 12 to both sides )
17k = 102 ( divide both sides by 17 )
k = 6
