Solve for k.

8k + 2m = 3m + k

Answer 1

I'm not sure, sorry.

Answer 2

Answer 3

8k + 2m = 3m + k --- subtract k from both sides
8k - k + 2m = 3m --- subtract 2m from both sides
8k - k = 3m - 2m --- combine terms
7k = 1m --- divide by 7 on both sides (m is the same as 1m)
k = 1/7m

Answer 4

8k+2m=3m+k

Add -k to both sides.

8k+2m+−k=k+3m+−k
7k+2m=3m

Add -2m to both sides.

7k+2m+−2m=3m+−2m
7k=m

Divide both sides by 7.

\[\frac{ 7k }{ 7 }=\frac{ m }{ 7 }\]

Answer

\[k=\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }m\]

Answer 5

or you could just put : k = m/7....its the same as k = 1/7m
