Given:
25 = 16e - 0.01k
Determine the value of k.
Solution:
In order to solve for k, we transpose -0.01 and 25 on the opposite sides of the equation. Note that when transposing a number the sign changes.
0.01k = 16e - 25
Divide both sides by 0.01 in order to find the value of k.
k = (16e - 25)/0.01
k = 1600e - 2500
We cannot simplify further since we have an exponential variable.
Final answer:
k = 1600e - 2500
