Is k = 2 a solution to this equation?

Question

5
k
= 34
Yes or no

Answer 1

To determine if \( k = 2 \) is a solution to the equation

\[ \frac{5}{k} = 34, \]

we can substitute \( k = 2 \) into the equation.

Substituting gives:

\[ \frac{5}{2} = 34. \]

Calculating \( \frac{5}{2} \) gives:

\[ 2.5 \neq 34. \]

Since \( 2.5 \) is not equal to \( 34 \), \( k = 2 \) is not a solution to the equation.

So the answer is no.
