Question

If k-9=5(k-3)find k​

Answer 1

K = 3/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

k−9=5(k−3)

k+−9=(5)(k)+(5)(−3)(Distribute)

k+−9=5k+−15

k−9=5k−15

Step 2: Subtract 5k from both sides.

k−9−5k=5k−15−5k

−4k−9=−15

Step 3: Add 9 to both sides.

−4k−9+9=−15+9

−4k=−6

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

-4k/-4 = -6/-4

K = 3/2
