Explanation:

43.

¼ k = 3(-¼ k + 3)

I assume this is really a "-" sign before ¼ in the brackets.

¼ k = 3(-¼ k + 3) | do the multiplication with the bracket

¼ k = -¾ k + 9 | add ¾ k to both sides of the equation

¼ k + ¾ k = -¾ k + 9 + ¾ k

4/4 k = k = 9

if there is no "-" in the brackets :

¼ k = 3(¼ k + 3) | do the multiplication with the bracket

¼ k = ¾ k + 9 | subtract ¼ from both sides

¼ k - ¼ k = ¾ k + 9 - ¼ k

0 = 2/4 k + 9 = ½ k + 9 | subtract 9 from both sides

0 - 9 = ½ k + 9 - 9

-9 = ½ k | multiply both sides by 2

-9×2 = ½ k × 2

-18 = k

please pick the answer that corresponds to your true problem.

44.

13(y - 3) = 13y - 39

I assume this is a "-" sign inside the brackets.

13(y - 3) = 13y - 39 | do the multiplication with the bracket

13y - 13×3 = 13y - 39

13y - 39 = 13y - 39

this is true for any and every value of y you could think of.

so, there are infinitely many solutions.

but if it is a "+" sign in the brackets :

13(y + 3) = 13y - 39 | do the multiplication with the bracket

13y + 13×3 = 13y - 39

13y + 39 = 13y - 39 | subtract 13y from both sides

13y + 39 - 13y = 13y - 39 - 13y

39 = -39

thus is wrong for any and every value of y you could think of.

so, there is no solution at all for this equation.

please pick the answer that corresponds to your true problem.
