Need some help with this question

65.9 - 32.4k/9.9 = 13.3k

/ stands for a fraction bar

65.9 - 32.4k/9.9 = 13.3k

65.9 - 3.28k = 13.3k

Think you can handle that now?

Not sure why I thought I wasn't able to divide 32.4k by 9.9

Anyways, thank you for the help, my answer came out to 3.98 (rounded up)

Sure, I can help you with that. Let's break down the equation step by step.

The equation is:

65.9 - 32.4k/9.9 = 13.3k

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable "k" on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the fraction:

32.4k/9.9

To do this, we divide 32.4k by 9.9:

32.4k รท 9.9 = 3.27k

Now our equation becomes:

65.9 - 3.27k = 13.3k

Next, we'll bring "k" terms to one side and constant terms to the other side of the equation. Let's move the 3.27k to the right side of the equation:

65.9 = 13.3k + 3.27k

Simplifying this expression, we add the like terms on the right side:

65.9 = 16.57k

Finally, we isolate the "k" term by dividing both sides of the equation by 16.57:

65.9 / 16.57 = (16.57k) / 16.57

Simplifying further:

3.9744 = k

So the solution to the equation is k = 3.9744.
