Q. Solve for k.21k2+23k=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.k= ____
Factor GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the equation 21k2+23k=0. The GCF of 21k2 and 23k is k. Factor out k from each term. k(21k+23)=0
Set Equal Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for k.First, set k equal to zero:k=0Then, set the other factor equal to zero:21k+23=0
Solve 21k+23: Solve the equation 21k+23=0 for k.Subtract 23 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with k.21k+23−23=0−2321k=−23Divide both sides by 21 to solve for k.k=−2123Simplify the fraction.21k+23=00
