Answer:

k = -15/2

Explanation:

Given one solution of the equation is 4, tells us that x equals 4. So we can plug it into the equation and solve for k.

It becomes:

3(4^2) + 4k - 18 = 0

Solve.
3(16) + 4k - 18 = 0

48 + 4k - 18 = 0

30 + 4k = 0

4k = -30

k = -30/4

Simplify.

k = -15/2

Thus k is equivalent to -15/2 or -7.5.
