Question

What is the solution to the equation k - 4 3/4 = 8 1/4?k = 4 1\2k = 12k = 13k = 4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

k - 4 3/4 = 8 1/4

The fist step is to convert the mixed number to improper fractions.

4 3/4 = 19/4

8 1/4 = 33/4

Thus, the expression becomes

k - 19/4 = 33/4

Adding 19/4 to both sides, we have

k - 19/4 + 19/4= 33/4 + 19/4

k = 52/4

k = 13
