Question

1/8k + 80= 1/2k + 120= ?
I need some help pls

Answer 1

1/8k + 80 = 1/2k + 120

Step 1: Subtract 1/2k from both sides.

1/8k + 80 - 1/2k = 1/2k + 120 - 1/2k

-3/8k + 80 = 120

Step 2: Subtract 80 from both sides.

-3/8k + 80 - 80 = 120 - 80

-3/8k = 40

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/(-3).

(8/-3) x (-3/8k) = (8/-3) x (40)

Answer: k = -320/3 or −106.667
