Question

Given a whole number k, when k is divided by 9 and added to 76, the result is one- third the original value. Find the value of k.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

k/9 + 76 = 1/3 K

K/9 - 1/3 K = -76

K/9 - 3K/9 = -76

(K-3k)/9 = -76

-2K / 9 = -76

-2K = -76 × 9

-2K = -684

K = -684/-2

K = 342
