Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf \underline{Solution-}$

(3/2)k + 5 = (1/3)k - 7

→ (3/2)k + 5 - (1/3)k = -7

→ (7/6)k + 5 = -7

→ (7/6)k = -7 - 5

→ (7/6)k = -12

Multiply both sides by 6/7 the reciprocal of 7/6.

→ k = -12 * (6/7)

Express -12 * (6/7) as a single fraction.

→ k = (-12 * 6)/7

→ k = (-72)/ 7

Fraction (-72)/7 can be rewritten as -(72/7) by extracting the negative sign.

→ k = -(72/ 7) = -10(2/ 7)
