Question

What is the solution to the linear equation?

6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12

Answer 1

6k+10.5=3k+12
-10.5 -10.5
6k=3k+1.5
-3k -3k
3k=1.5

Answer 2

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The given equation:
`6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12`

To solve the above equation for k , we first subtract 3k from both the sides , we get

`6k + 10.5 -3k= 3k + 12-3k\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3k+10.5=12`

Subtract 10.5 from both sides

`3k=12-10.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3k=1.5`

Divide 3 on both the sides , we get

`k=(1.5)/(3)=0.5`

Hence, solution to the linear equation : k = 0.5
