what is 1k+3=5k-3 algebra


Sagot :

1k+3=5k-3
1k+6=5k
6=4k
then divide 6 by four. that equals k

It's a simple linear equation in 'k' .

If you're ever asked to find the "solution", remember that the solution is
the number that 'k' must be in order to make the equation a true statement.
Since the equation is linear, there's only one possible solution.

Here's a procedure you can use to find the solution. 
It's rather complicated.  Please try to follow me.  I'll go slowly:

-- Write the equation:  1k + 3  =  5k - 3

-- Subtract 1k from each side:    3 = 4k - 3

-- Add  3  to each side:        6 = 4k

-- Divide each side by  4 :   6/4 = k  or  k = 1.5  (same thing)
