PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY AMND SERIOUSLY

Answer 1

We can simplify this equation and find the value of k.

k ÷ 2 + 1 - 1k = -2k
k ÷ 2 + 1 = -k
k + 1 = -2k
1 = -3k
k = -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:   k = "- $\frac{2}{3}$"  ; or, write as:   " -0.667 " .

_________________________________________________________
Given:

(k/2)  + 1  -  1k  = -2k ;  
_________________________________________________________

Add "1k" to each side of the equation:

(k/2)  + 1  -  1k  + 1k  =  -2k + 1k  ;

to get:


(k/2)  + 1  =  -1k ; 

Multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "2" ;  
               to eliminate the "fraction" ;

2 * [ (k/2) + 1 = -1k ] ;


to get:

k + 2 =  -2k  ;

Subtract "k" from each side of the equation;

k + 2 - k = -2k - k ;

to get:

2  =  -3k ;

↔  

-3k = 2 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "-3" ; to isolate "k" on one side of the equation ; &  to solve for "k" ;

-3k / 3  = 2/-3 ;

to get:

k = - $\frac{2}{3}$  ; or, write as:   " -0.667 "
