Question

1/3(-12k+30)=6+15k
Solve for k

Answer 1

k = 4/19

Explanation:

1/3 (- 12k + 30) = 6 + 15k

- 12/3k + 30/3 = 6 + 15k

- 12/3k - 15k = 6 - 30/3

- 12/3k - 15/1k = 6/1 - 30/3

- 12/3k - 45/3k = 18/3 - 30/3

- 57/3k = - 12/3

- k = - 12/3 / 57/3

- k = - 12/3 * 3/57

- k = - 12/57

k = 12/57

k = 4/19
