Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  8k -  5 • (3 - 5k)  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   33k - 15  =   3 • (11k - 5) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  3 • (11k - 5)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    11k-5 = 0 

 Add  5  to both sides of the equation : 
                      11k = 5
Divide both sides of the equation by 11:
                     k = 5/11 = 0.455
