k = 1.13k=1.13

Explanation:

You first get the variable alone on one side. You move the -5.91−5.91 over by adding 5.915.91 to both sides. 3k = 3.393k=3.39. Then divide both sides by 3. k = 1.133.k=1.13.

k=1.13k=1.13

Explanation:

Solve:

3k-5.91=-2.523k−5.91=−2.52

Add 5.915.91 to both sides.

3k=-5.91+5.91=-2.52+5.913k=−5.91+5.91=−2.52+5.91

Simplify.

3k+0=3.393k+0=3.39

3k=3.393k=3.39

Divide both sides by 33.

(color(red)cancel(color(black)(3))^1k)/color(red)cancel(color(black)(3))^1=(3.39)/3

Simplify.

k=1.13
