Question

Which equation is equivalent to –k + 0.03 + 1.01k = –2.45 – 1.81k?

–100k + 3 + 101k = –245 – 181k
–100k + 300 + 101k = –245 – 181k
–k + 3 + 101k = –245 – 181k
–k + 300 + 101k = –245 – 181k

Answer 1

Looking at the answer choices, it seems like they want to get rid of the decimals

Multiply both sides by 100

100(-k + 0.03 + 1.01k) = 100*(-2.45 - 1.81k)

Remember you have to distribute
a(b+c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

Answer 2

100k+3+101k=-245-181k ?

Answer 3

Almost, you forgot the - on the first 100k

So it would be
-100k + 3 + 101k = -245 - 181k

Answer 4
