Q. Solve for k.27k2−5k=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) of the terms in the equation 27k2−5k=0. The GCF of 27k2 and −5k is k. Factor out k from each term. k(27k−5)=0
Solve for k=0: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for k.First, set k equal to zero:k=0This is one solution.
Solve for k=275: Now set the other factor equal to zero and solve for k:27k−5=0Add 5 to both sides of the equation:27k=5Divide both sides by 27 to isolate k:k=275This is the second solution.
