Q. 4k+3=14What is the value of k in the equation shown?
Isolate term with k: Isolate the term containing k. To isolate the term with k, we need to subtract 3 from both sides of the equation 4k+3=14. Calculation: 14−3=11 So, 4k+3−3=14−3 simplifies to 4k=11.
Solve for k: Solve for k.To find k, we need to multiply both sides of the equation 4k=11 by 4.Calculation: 11×4=44So, 4×4k=11×4 simplifies to k=44.
Check solution: Check the solution.Substitute k=44 back into the original equation to verify the solution.Calculation: 444+3=11+3=14Since the left side equals the right side, our solution is correct.
