Question

How do you solve 5(k-2)= 0

Answer 1

you would go thought the order of operations to get k isolated.

Answer 2

By multiplying 5 by k then 5 by 2?

Answer 3

so dividing by 5 on each side will get k-2=0
than just add two to each side and get k=2 :)

Answer 4

Would this be quadratic equations?

Answer 5

Well, its on my quadratics homework, so I would think so, yes

Answer 6

haha, yes, since there is the 5(x-2) its considered a factored equation

Answer 7

Keep in mind if there isn't a variable on the first constant it wouldn't be considered to be equal to 0.

Answer 8

so what would the answer be?

Answer 9

Then as nicole said, replace the positive 2 with the variable. 5(2-2)=0
the above would be correct. And your answer would be k = 2 <-- the 2 would be the answer in this case

Answer 10

Not sure if I explained so you could understand tho.. im horrible at explaining

Answer 16

would the answer be for that question y = 1/2, 0

Answer 17

Yep, plug them in to check if they end up to = to 0 and you'd be correct.

Answer 18

Lol, both are good.
