OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

\[\frac{2k}{5}=4\] & \[\frac{-2k}{5}=4\]wht r the solutions of these two equations ?

OpenStudy (13mysterious):

Umm.. 4?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

no wht r the values of k in the two equations ?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

|x|=x if x>0 |x|=-x if x<0

OpenStudy (13mysterious):

Oh okay, sorry, I honestly don't know how...

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, isolate the absolute value on the left side. The absolute value of k is being multiplied by the fraction 2/5. If you multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2, you will end up with just |k| on the left side. Start there. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2 and show what you get.
