Help with solving equations (algebra 1) 0.09k+0.13(k+300)=61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get this: 0.09k+0.13k+39=61 do you also have this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK then you can combine like terms - the k terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0.22k+39=61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct now subtract 39 from both sides to get k alone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.22k=22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can multiply both sides with 100 to get rid of the decimal point
