To find the value of k, we can use the fact that the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 is given by -B/A. In this case, A = 2 and B = (k-3).

The sum of the solutions is:

3.5 + (-1) = -B/A

2.5 = -k + 3

Solving for k:

k - 3 = -2.5

k = -2.5 + 3

k = 0.5

Therefore, the value of k is 0.5.
