Solve the equation 37.4775/4.5k+3=2.63for the variable k.(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{37.4775}{4.5k} + 3 = 2.63 \) for the variable \( k \), we first isolate the term involving \( k \).

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ \frac{37.4775}{4.5k} + 3 = 2.63 \]

  2. Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the fraction: \[ \frac{37.4775}{4.5k} = 2.63 - 3 \]

  3. Simplifying the right side: \[ \frac{37.4775}{4.5k} = -0.37 \]

  4. Now, multiply both sides by \( 4.5k \) to eliminate the fraction: \[ 37.4775 = -0.37 \cdot 4.5k \]

  5. Calculate \( -0.37 \cdot 4.5 \): \[ -0.37 \cdot 4.5 = -1.665 \] So, the equation becomes: \[ 37.4775 = -1.665k \]

  6. Now, divide both sides by -1.665 to solve for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{37.4775}{-1.665} \]

  7. Compute the right side: \[ k \approx -22.486 \]

Therefore, the solution is: \[ k \approx -22.486 \]
