Answer:

k = -1

Explanation:

-11/2 = -2 1/3 + 3 1/6k

Step 1.

Change the mixed numerals into fractions.

-11/2 = -7/3 + 19/6 k

Step 2. The LCD is 6. Multiply both sides by 6 to get rid of all denominators.

-11/2 × 6 = -7/3 × 6 + 6 × 19/6 k

-33 = -14 + 19k

Add 14 to both sides.

-19 = 19k

Divide both sides by 19.

-19/19 = 19k/19

-1 = k

Switch sides.

k = -1
