To solve this equation, we need to follow the order of operations—parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division (from left to right), and addition/subtraction (from left to right).
First, we need to calculate K+48:
K + 48
Then, we divide the result by 3:
(K + 48) / 3
After that, we add 54 to the previous result:
(K + 48) / 3 + 54
Finally, we set the whole expression to equal 146 and solve for K. This can be done by isolating K on one side of the equation.
(K + 48) / 3 + 54 = 146
To remove the added 54, we subtract it from both sides:
(K + 48) / 3 = 146 - 54
Simplifying:
(K + 48) / 3 = 92
To get rid of the division by 3, we multiply both sides by 3:
K + 48 = 92 * 3
Simplifying further:
K + 48 = 276
To solve for K, we subtract 48 from both sides:
K = 276 - 48
Simplifying one final time:
K = 228
So, K+48 over 3 + 54 equals 146 when K is equal to 228.
K+48 over 3 +54=146
