Question

solve the equation for the variable k. 30/k+1=4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{30}{k} + 1 = 4 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:
\[
\frac{30}{k} = 4 - 1
\]
\[
\frac{30}{k} = 3
\]

2. Now, multiply both sides by \( k \) to eliminate the fraction:
\[
30 = 3k
\]

3. Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( k \):
\[
k = \frac{30}{3}
\]
\[
k = 10
\]

Thus, the solution for \( k \) is:
\[
\boxed{10}
\]
