Question

Solve for k. 8k + 2m = 3m + k

Answer 1

Solve for k by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

k = m/7 

Answer 2

Let's use algebra and solve for k.

$8k+2m=3m+k\\8k-k=3m-2m$ (putting k on one side and m on another)

$7k=m\\k=\frac{m}{7}$

This is the final answer.

ANSWER: $k=\frac{m}{7}$
