2/7(K+5/8)=16/7

Answer 1

HeY!

Answer 2

hey do you know the answer? I've been stuck for a while.

Answer 3

Is the question\[\frac{ 2 }{ 7 }\left( k+\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \right) = \frac{ 16 }{ 7 }\]

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

OK. The first thing I would do is multiply both sides by 7. This will get rid of the 7ths fractions. Can you do that?

Answer 6

Ya

Answer 7

What do you get?

Answer 8

2(k+5/8)=16

Answer 9

Very good. Now divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the 2 on the left hand side. What do you get?

Answer 10

(k+5/8)=8

Answer 11

Excellent. You're good at this. Now, solving for k is straight forward. Subtract 5/8 from both sides. What do you get?
