Question

What is the solution to the linear equation? 6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12 k = 0.5 k = 2 k = 7.3 k = 9

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution of the linear equation is k=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6k+10.5=3k+12

6k-3k=12-10.5

3k=1.5

k=1.5/3

k=0.5

This is the first option i.e. k=0.5

Let us take k=2

LHS  

6(2)+10.5

=12+10.5

=22.5

RHS  

=3(2)+12

=6+12

=18

22.5 is not equal to 18

Therefore, answer to the linear equation is k=0.5
