Set up the equation: Set up the equation from the problem.We are given the equation 2k−66=3. We need to solve for k.
Multiply to eliminate the denominator: Multiply both sides of the equation by (2k−6) to eliminate the denominator.2k−66×(2k−6)=3×(2k−6)This simplifies to:6=3(2k−6)
Distribute 3 on the right side: Distribute 3 on the right side of the equation.6=3×2k−3×66=6k−18
Isolate the term with k: Add 18 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with k on one side.6+18=6k−18+1824=6k
Divide to solve for k: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for k.624=66k4=k
