Answer:

40

Explanation:

first, you should add six to both sides.

it would become:


(k)/(5\\)=2+6

this becomes


(k)/(5\\) = 8

then you should multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator

it would become


(k)/(5\\)(5) = 8(5)

then you can cross the fives out on the left side to get

k = 8*5

then you can solve for k, which is

k = 40

hope this helped!!!

Answer:


\sf \: k = 40

Explanation:


\sf (k)/(5) - 6 = 2 \\

First, add 6 to both sides.


\sf (k)/(5) = 2 + 6 \\ \\ \sf (k)/(5) = 8 \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

Multiply both sides by 5 and make k as the subject.


\sf \: k = 8 * 5 \\ \sf \: k = 40 \: \: \: \: \:
