6 1/3 + k + 3 5/6 + 5 1/2 = 26 1/6
Add your fractions
6 1/3 + 3 5/6 + 5 1/2 = 15 2/3
now You need to isolate k on one side of the equation by using the subtraction method of equality.
k + 15 2/3 = 26 1/6
k = 10 1/2
Hope this helps

Answer: p=5+3/2 or p=5-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
P greater than or equal to -4
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
the first solution is 20% acid, and say we'll be using "x" liters, so how many liters of just acid are in it? well 20% of "x" or namely 0.2x. Likewise for the 60% acid solution, if we had "y" liters of it, the amount of only acid in it is 0.6y.
