k = 44 is the solution for
\((k)/(4) + 3 = 14\).

To solve
\((k)/(4) + 3 = 14\), start by subtracting 3 from both sides, yielding
\((k)/(4) = 11\).

To isolate k, multiply both sides by 4, giving k = 44.

Another method could be:

k/4 + 3 = 14

k/4 = 14 - 3

k/4 = 11

k = 11
* 4

k = 44

Therefore, k = 44 satisfies the equation.

Verifying this solution, substitute k = 44 back into the original equation:
\((44)/(4) + 3 = 11 + 3 = 14\), confirming that k = 44 is the solution. The process involves inverse operations—subtracting, then multiplying—to isolate the variable and find the value that makes the equation true.

The complete question is:

Solve for k:

k/4 + 3 = 14
