Answer:
k = -1/240
Explanation:
to evaluate the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120
we have
1/3k+80=1/2k+120
collect the like terms for easy evaluation
1/3k - 1/2k = 120 -80
1/3k - 1/2k = 40
find the lcm
2 - 3/6k = 40
-1/ 6k = 40
cross multiply
6k x 40 = -1
240k = -1
divide both sides by 240
240k/240 = -1/ 240
k = -1/240
therefore the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120 is equals to -1/240
