Solve the equation for k: k+5/6 = 4

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{k + 5}{6} = 4 \), follow these steps:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ k + 5 = 4 \times 6 \]

\[ k + 5 = 24 \]

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate \( k \):

\[ k = 24 - 5 \]

\[ k = 19 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ k = 19 \]
