Solve equations with variables on both sides: fractional coefficients

Hello Guest,

 

\(\frac{5}{4}k-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}k=-\frac{1}{4}k-\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\mbox {Now multiply both sides by 4}\)

\(5k-3+2k=-k-2\)

\(7k-3=-k-2\)

\(7k-3+k=-2\)

\(7k+k=-2+3\)

\(8k=-2+3\)

\(8k=1\)

\(k=\frac{1}{8}=0.125\)

 

Easy!
