Question

Negative K over five equals seven over five

Answer 1

Hey! Sorry about your misunderstanding of your work, Allow me to help :)

Let's turn that phrase into an equation.

Negative K ( - k) over five ( /5 ) equals ( = )  seven (7) over five ( /5)

Let's put that together.

- k/5 = 7/5

To solve, we need to get rid of the fraction by getting rid of the denominator, in this case, the denominator for both sides is 5. Multiply each side by 5 to cancel out the 5. We get :

- k = 7

Now we need to get rid of that negative sign next to k, so what we do is divide each side by -1 so we can cancel out that negative 1 next to k.

Our Final answer is k = -7 .
