If j - kx = jk + k, then solve the equation for k in terms of x and j.

Answer 1

Group all the k terms together on one side: j = kx + jk + k

factor the k: j = (x+j+1)k

divide both sides by ()

Answer 2

1. Understand that the problem is asking you to isolate k.

j - kx = jk + k

1. Gather all k-terms on one side of the equation. (Add kx to both sides.)

j = jk + k + kx

1. Factor k out of the expression with all the k terms. (Factoring here is like undoing distribution)

j = k(j + 1 + x)

1. Divide both sides of the equation by the expression being multiplied by k.

^j/_(j+1+x) = k

1. You now have a definition for k that uses the variables j and x as part of the definition. In other words, you have a solution for k in terms of j and x.
