Question

3k + 45 = 8k + 25
solving linear equations

Answer 1

The answer to your equation is 0

Answer 2

Answer: The required solution is k = 4.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following linear equation :

`3k+45=8k+25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

Solving the above linear equation is equivalent to find the value of the unknown variable k.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

`3k+45=8k+25\\\\\Rightarrow 8k-3k=45-25\\\\\Rightarrow 5k=20\\\\\Rightarrow k=(20)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow k=4.`

Thus, the required solution is k = 4.
