Question

1. x-1 / 6 =2 2. -3= k-5 / 16 Find x and k

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 13

k = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-1}{6} = 2$

Multiply both sides by 6

$\frac{6}{1}$ × $\frac{x-1}{6} = 2$ × $\frac{6}{1}$

$x - 1 = 12$

Add one to each side

$x = 13$

$-3 = \frac{k-5}{16}$

Multiply both sides by 16

$\frac{16}{1}$ × $-3 = \frac{k-5}{16}$ × $\frac{16}{1}$

$k - 5 = -48$

Add 5 to each side

$k = 43$
