Question

5/6k+1/3=-7--2/3K

Answer 1

Remember the goal is to get the variable by itself.

Answer 2

Are you there?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Okay so if I were you I would add \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3} + \frac{ 5 }{ 6}=?\]

Answer 5

but is negative 2

Answer 6

So the -2/3k isn't a fraction?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Well if it is a negative fraction that is why we are adding it to the other like term.

Answer 9

oh k

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3}+\frac{ 5 }{ 6}=?(Answer)\]

Answer 11

Make them common denominators....

Answer 12

yes. i got 1/6

Answer 13

That is incorrect.

Answer 14

If I were you I would take 2/3 and multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2. This way you get the denominators the same.

Answer 15

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 6}+\frac{ 5 }{ 6}=?\]

Answer 16

would it be negative -4/6 sense 2 is negative

Answer 17

No, we added 2/3 on both sides.

Answer 18

oh k

Answer 19

For example if we just had 5k+1=-7-2k
We would add 2 to both sides

Answer 20

got it

Answer 21

So what is 5/6 + 4/6=?

Answer 22

3/2

Answer 23

Okay good... so now we have: \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2}k + \frac{ 1 }{ 3}= -7\]

Answer 24

So now how do you move 1/3 to the right side of the equal sign?

Answer 25

subtract 1/3

Answer 26

Good so can you do the operation: -7-1/3

Answer 27

so i subtract -7-1 and get -8/3

Answer 28

Remember finding a common denominator.

Answer 29

Turn 7 into a fraction.
\[\frac{ -7 }{ 1}-\frac{ 1 }{ 3}\]

Answer 30

Multiply the 1st fraction by 3

Answer 31

oh k

Answer 32

\[\frac{ -21 }{ 3}-\frac{ 1}{ 3}\]

Answer 33

What does that equal?

Answer 34

-22/3

Answer 35

Good

Answer 36

Now we need to divide

Answer 37

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2}k \div \frac{ -22 }{ 3}\]
Remember when dividing fractions you just cross multiply. What do you get?

Answer 38

-44/9

Answer 39
