Let's solve the equation step by step:
4k + 3 = (1/4)(8k + 16)
First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to clear the fraction:
4(4k + 3) = 4(1/4)(8k + 16)
16k + 12 = 8k + 16
Now, let's isolate the variable k by moving the 8k from the right side to the left side of the equation and moving the constant terms to the right side:
16k - 8k = 16 - 12
8k = 4
Now, divide both sides by 8 to solve for k:
k = 4/8
k = 1/2
So, the solution to the equation is k = 1/2.
This equation has one solution, which is k = 1/2.
