What is 5 k-3=11

Question

My question is about a problem I'm struggling with

 

Answer 1

We want to isolate k by itself on one side of the equation and everything else on the other.

 

The best way to begin is to add 3 to both sides.

 

We get 5k = 14

 

Finally we divide by 5 to solve for k.

 

k = 14/5

 

We can also express this as a decimal: k = 2.8
