Q. Solve for k.27k2−32k=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 27k2−32k=0. The GCF of 27k2 and 32k is k. Factor out k from each term. k(27k−32)=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:27k−32=0
Solve for k: Solve the equation 27k−32=0 for k.Add 32 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with k.27k−32+32=0+3227k=32Divide both sides by 27 to solve for k.k=2732
Write Solutions: Write the values of k. We have found two solutions where the equation will be true: k=0 and k=2732. k=0,2732
