Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     k-(4/5+1/5)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        4    1
  k -  (— +  —)  = 0 
        5    5

Step  2  :

            4
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        4    1
  k -  (— +  —)  = 0 
        5    5

Step  3  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 3.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 4 + 1     1
 —————  =  —
   5       1

Equation at the end of step  3  :

       1
  k -  —  = 0 
       1

Step  4  :

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  k - 1  = 0 

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.1      Solve  :    k-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      k = 1
