Question

9+4k=5(k+1)+3k

Answer 1

• Start by distributing the 5 making it 9+4k=5k+5+3k which can then be simplified to 9+4k=8k+5.
• Now you can subtract the 4k from both sides making it 9=4k+5.
• Then you would subtract the 5 from both sides making it 4=4k.
• So then the answer would come from dividing both sides by 4 making k=1. 
• Substituting the 1 back into the equation for k to checking your answer will make 13=13.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is k = 1.
