Question

1/4k + 17 = 1 (solve for the unknown variable)

Answer 1

k = -64

Explanation:

I'll assume that you meant "(1/4)k." Please use parentheses in cases such as this one.

Subtract 17 from both sides, obtaining (1/4)k = -16.

Multiply both terms of this result by 4 to eliminate the fraction 1/4:

k = -64
