Question

What is the solution to the equation .25 (j - 2.2) = 8 when solving for k?

3.27

4.1

24.2

39.8

Answer 1

To solve for k, you would divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:

0.25(j - 2.2) = 8
(j - 2.2) = 8/0.25
(j - 2.2) = 32

Next, add 2.2 to both sides to isolate j:

j - 2.2 + 2.2 = 32 + 2.2
j = 34.2

Therefore, the solution for k is 34.2.
