Question

3k - 5 = 20k u was having trouble and don't say k is whatever you want it to be

Answer 1

Please see the attached:

$3k-5 = 20k\\-5 = 17k\\k= -\frac{5}{17}$

Answer 2

Answer:

k = -5/17 = -0.294

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -17k - 5  =   -1 • (17k + 5)  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -17k-5 = 0  

Add  5  to both sides of the equation :  

                     -17k = 5  

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  17k = -5  

Divide both sides of the equation by 17:

                    k = -5/17 = -0.294
