To solve the equation, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
5 * (k - 7) / 5 = 10 * 5
This simplifies to:
k - 7 = 50
Next, we can add 7 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
k - 7 + 7 = 50 + 7
This simplifies to:
k = 57
To check the answer, we can substitute the value of k back into the original equation:
(57 - 7) / 5 = 10
This simplifies to:
50 / 5 = 10
Which is true, so our answer of k = 57 is correct.
