Question

How do you solve `-\frac { k } { 9} + 6= - 4`?

Answer 1

`k=90`

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction, multiply ALL terms on both sides of the equation by 9, the denominator of the fraction.

`(cancel(9)^1xx-k/cancel(9)^1)+(9xx6)=(9xx-4)`

`rArr-k+54=-36`

subtract 54 from both sides.

`-kcancel(+54)cancel(-54)=-36-54`

`rArr-k=-90rArrk=90" is the solution"`
