Answer: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation: [tex]6k + 10.5 = 3k + 12[/tex]
To solve the above equation for k , we first subtract 3k from both the sides , we get
[tex]6k + 10.5 -3k= 3k + 12-3k\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3k+10.5=12[/tex]
Subtract 10.5 from both sides
[tex]3k=12-10.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3k=1.5[/tex]
Divide 3 on both the sides , we get
[tex]k=\dfrac{1.5}{3}=0.5[/tex]
Hence, solution to the linear equation : k = 0.5
