Answer:

$k=23/2=11.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$6k-8=4k+15$

Add 8 to both sides. The left side cancels:

$6k=4k+23$

Subtract 4k from both sides. The right side cancels:

$2k=23$

Divide both sides by 2:

$k=23/2=11.5$

And we're done!

Hi,

Answer:

k = $\frac{23}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4k from both sides

6k - 4k = 2k

2k - 8 = 15

Add 8 on both sides (you want to get rid of the 8 in order to leave the k alone)

2k = 23

k = 23/2

Have a good day!

Given that <span>Jack rakes the yard in 5 hours and Jill rakes the yeard in 8 hours. Let the amount of time that it takes them to rake the yard together be t, then:

$\frac{1}{t} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{8} \\ \\ = \frac{8+5}{40} = \frac{13}{40} \\ \\ \therefore t= \frac{40}{13} =3 \frac{1}{13}\ hours$ </span>
