Answer:


(4)/(5)

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the equation


(5k)/(6) +
(2)/(3) =
(4)/(3)

Step 2: Multiply each term by the lowest common multiple (lcm)

lcm of the denominators 6 and 3 = 6

Step 3:

6x
(5k)/(6) + 6x
(2)/(3) = 6x
(4)/(3)

Next

5k + 4 = 8

5k = 8 - 4

5k = 4

Divide through by 5

k =
(4)/(5)
