Question

Solving multi step equations 5/6k + 2/3 = 4/3

Answer 1

k = 4/5

Explanation:

First, rewrite 5/6k as (5/6)k; this is "five sixths of the variable k."

Next, identify the LCD. It is 6. Then the given equation becomes

5k + 4 = 8

Consolidate the constant terms:

5k = 4

Solve for k: k = 4/5
