answer: 3.8857
explanation:
Simplifying
-5k + 2.9 = -12k + 30.1
Reorder the terms:
2.9 + -5k = -12k + 30.1
Reorder the terms:
2.9 + -5k = 30.1 + -12k
Solving
2.9 + -5k = 30.1 + -12k
Solving for variable 'k'.
Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12k' to each side of the equation.
2.9 + -5k + 12k = 30.1 + -12k + 12k
Combine like terms: -5k + 12k = 7k
2.9 + 7k = 30.1 + -12k + 12k
Combine like terms: -12k + 12k = 0
2.9 + 7k = 30.1 + 0
2.9 + 7k = 30.1
Add '-2.9' to each side of the equation.
2.9 + -2.9 + 7k = 30.1 + -2.9
Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.9 = 0.0
0.0 + 7k = 30.1 + -2.9
7k = 30.1 + -2.9
Combine like terms: 30.1 + -2.9 = 27.2
7k = 27.2
Divide each side by '7'.
k = 3.885714286
Simplifying
k = 3.885714286
