Given the equation:
2T = M + 3k
Determine the value of K when
T = 11
M = 4
Solution:
Substitute the given values of T and M to the equation, and solve for K.
2T = M + 3k
2 (11) = 4 + 3k
22 = 4 + 3k
Transpose 4 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3k = 22 - 4
3k = 18
Divide both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of k.
3k/3 = 18/3
k = 6
Final answer:
k = 6
