    what is the value of k?

    4/5 k - 1/10 k = 1/2 k + 1

    the answer is k = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    from the question what is the value of k?

    4/5 k - 1/10 k = 1/2 k + 1

    by rearranging, we have;

    4k/5 - k/10 = k + 1 / 2

    finding the lcm of the RHS which is 10

    2 (4k) - k/10 = k + 1/2

    8k-k / 10 = k + 1 / 2

    finding the lcm of the R

    LHS which is 2

    we have

    7k/10 = k + 2/2

    by cross multiplying

    14k = 10k + 20

    collect the lie terms

    14k - 10k = 20

    4k = 20

    divide both sides by 4

    k = 5
