Question

Solve the equation below for k. k+56=4k+56=4(1 point) Responses k=19k=19k is equal to 19 k=5k=5k is equal to 5 k=15k=15k is equal to 15 k=29

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( k + 56 = 4k + 56 \), we start by simplifying it.

1. First, let's subtract \( 56 \) from both sides:

\[
k + 56 - 56 = 4k + 56 - 56
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
k = 4k
\]

2. Now, let's subtract \( k \) from both sides:

\[
k - k = 4k - k
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
0 = 3k
\]

3. To solve for \( k \), divide both sides by \( 3 \):

\[
k = 0
\]

However, it seems like there might have been a misunderstanding in your original problem since it appears you have suggested \( 4k + 56 \) as a separate equation. It might be clearer if you could confirm the structure of the original equation.

If you're just looking at \( k + 56 = 4k + 56 \), the solution is \( k = 0 \).

If \( k + 56 = 4 \) (which was possibly intended), you can solve that as:

\[
k + 56 = 4
\]
Subtracting \( 56 \):
\[
k = 4 - 56 = -52
\]
