Question

(40-2L)/10 = (54-3K)/15, How do you solve for L?

Answer 1

\[L=\left( 54-3K \right) 10-40)\div-30\]

Answer 2

Thanks but that isn't the complete answer. Can anyone please help?
I know the answer is L=K+2 but how do you get that?

Answer 3

Either you copy your question wrong (decimal points?) or something is off with the answer you have been given because there is almost no way to give you that answer. Is that the right answer for the right problem? The only way that I could get this to work is if your 54 was a -20. And is there a specific way that you are suppose to be using?
