Question

How do you solve 2/7k - 3/8 = -19/8

Answer 1

Alright, start with simplifying both sides

`(2)/(7) k+ (-3)/(8) = (-19)/(8)`
Than add
`(3)/(8)` to both sides.

`(2)/(7)k + (-3)/(8) + (3)/(8) =(-19)/(8) + (3)/(8)`
which is
`(2)/(7) k=-2`

After this, multiply each side by
`(7)/(2)`

`( (7)/(2))* (2)/(7) k= ( (7)/(2))*(-2)`
So, your final answer is K=-7
