Question

7.4 - k = 5 ; k = 3.4

6th grade help

Answer 1

Is it me or does it not equal 5?

Answer 2

I was absent I missed when I was in school because I was sick. I don't know how do it there couple questions for my homework that I don't know how to do.

Answer 3

don't be worry
look at first equation
you need to have k alone in one side first subtract both side of 5 then you will have a equation like this 3.4-k=0
now add both side with k
3.4-k+k=k
you will reach 3.4=k

Answer 4

The solution of the equation is k = 2.4
Why do you have k = 3.4?

Answer 5

I'm confused a bit, does the problem actually say that k=3.4?

Answer 6

Yea and idk

Answer 7

yes 2.4-k=0
2.4-k+k=k
k=2.4

Answer 8

Do u want a picture of it?

Answer 9

@Jay1274 Can you explain what you are trying to do? You have an equation and an incorrect solution. Is the problem simply the equation and k = 3.4 is what you got for k and you want to know if it's correct?

Answer 10

It's solution of equations

Answer 11

Are you trying to find if it's a solution or not, or are you trying to solve for k?

Answer 12

Yea I think so

Answer 13

Can you please write the instructions that came witht he problem?

Answer 14

Okay but how can I put a picture on it I'm on my ipad

Answer 15

Take a picture of it from your ipad and save it then click attach file on here.

Answer 16

Where's the attach file

Answer 17

If you are trying to find if k = 3.4 is the solution to the given equation, then substitute 3.4 for k in the equation.
7.4 - k = 5
7.4 - 3.4 = 5
4 = 5
This is false, so k = 3.4 is not a solution to the given equation.

Answer 18

On the bottom you'll see three blue buttons on the left middle of the screen (equation, draw, and attach file). Click attach file.

Answer 19

I don't see it

Answer 20

If you are trying to solve the equation, then this is how you do it:
7.4 - k = 5
Subtract 7.4 from both sides:
7.4 - 7.4 - k = 5 - 7.4
-k = -2.4
Now multiply both sides by -1
k = 2.4
Solution is k = 2.4

Answer 21

Ok @mathstudent55

Answer 23

Well, just go with what mathstudent55 said because he's right. Whatever the question is asking you. If you have to put in k for the equation then it's not a solution. If the question asked you find k just subtract 7.4 both sides (5) then you'll get k=2.4. Is there additional instructions to it like "Find if this is a solution" or "Solve for the following"?

Answer 24

Okay @LoveSpiderz @mathstudent55
