Please help! Translate the sentence into an equation. Five times the sum of m and k is the same as seven times k.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

5(m+k)=7k

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Do you want an explanation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes please

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Five times the sum of m plus k means that m plus k is in parenthesis.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Seven times k would be seven multiplying k which is 7k.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

"Is the same as" means = so it is 5(m+k)=7k
