You are close, but it is not the correct answer.

1 + 2k = 5k + 7

First, since we are trying to get the variable by itself, we need to move all things to one side. Let's subtract 1 from each side. 
2k = 5k + 7 - 1

Second, we can now subtract (7 - 1) to get 6. Let's add that into our problem and then subtract 5 from each side, still trying to get the variable by itself.
2k - 5k = 6

Third, subtract (2k - 5k) to get -3k. Hint the negative symbol now. If the problem were switched the other way, it would still be a positive. 
-3k = 6

Fourth, we can now divide each side by -3. This results in a fraction and also getting the variable by itself on one side of the problem. Remember the negative sign in front of the fraction since (-3) carried it.
k = - \frac{6}{3}

Fifth, this is our last step. We need to simplify the fraction. Since out fraction is 6/3, which number multiples by 3 to get the answer of 6? The answer is 2, since (3 × 2 = 6). Don't forget the negative!
k = -2

Answer: \fbox {k = -2}

Write a scenario that could be represented by this equation: 3/4x = 12
Aneli [31]

Answer:

x=1 or x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4x = 12      or        0.75x = 12

3/4x/3/4 = 12/3/4     or     0.75x/0.75 = 12/0.75

x=12/1 / 3/4

x= 4/4

x = 1                           or       x = 16

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The best option is c

Step-by-step explanation:

The same textbooks contains a total of 848 pages . Which represent the total number of pages , y , of any number of the same textbooks , x.

The number of same text book = x

Each of this textbook contains a total of 848 pages .

The total number of pages can be computed as

y = 848x

for 4 same text book

y = 848 × 4 = 3392 pages

for 3 same text book

y = 848 × 3= 2544 pages

for 7 same text book

y = 848 × 7 = 5936 pages

for 8 same text book

y = 848 × 8 = 6784 pages

for 11 same text book

y = 848 × 11 = 9328 pages
