Question

What is the value of k in the equation StartFraction k Over 3 EndFraction minus 5 = 34?

Answer 1

Answer:  11 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numerators together.

Answer 2

$\hugek=\boxed{117}$

$\displaystyle\frac{k}{3}-5=34$

To find the value of $k$, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Add $5$ to both sides of the equation, then multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}\frac{k}{3}-5+5&=34+5\\\frac{k}{3}&=39\\\frac{k}{3}*3&=39*3\\k&=\boxed{117}\end{aligned}$
