1/3k+80=1/2k+120 what does k equal?

k = - 1/240

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120

we have

1/3k+80=1/2k+120

collect the like terms for easy evaluation

1/3k - 1/2k = 120 - 80

1/3k - 1/2k = 40

find the lcm

2 - 3/6k = 40

-1 / 6k = 40

cross multiply

6k x 40 = - 1

240k = - 1

divide both sides by 240

240k/240 = - 1 / 240

k = - 1/240

therefore the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120 is equals to - 1/240
