Question

Write an equation to represent the following equation:

60 is 5 times as great as k
solve for k

Answer 1

k=12

Equation: 60=5k

Hope this helps

Answer 2

"60 is..." can be translated with
`60=\ldots`

"5 times as great as k [/tex] means
`5k`

So, the equation is

`60=5k`

To solve for k, divide both sides by 5:

`(60)/(5) = (5k)/(5)`

Which leads to

`k=12`
