Question

Solve the following Equation:-5k=12

Answer 1

k = -2.4

Step-by-step explanation:
`-5k\text{ = 12}`

Divide both sides by -5:

`\begin{gathered} (-5k)/(-5)=(12)/(-5) \\ \end{gathered}`

Division of same sign gives positive number. Division of opposite signs give negative number.

`\begin{gathered} k\text{ = -12/5} \\ k\text{ = -2.4} \end{gathered}`
