Answer:

[tex]k = 2.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]5k + 3.8 = 3k + 9[/tex]

Required

Solve

[tex]5k + 3.8 = 3k + 9[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]5k -3k+ 3.8 = 3k -3k + 9[/tex]

[tex]2k+ 3.8 = 9[/tex]

Subtract 3.8 from both sides

[tex]2k+ 3.8 - 3.8= 9 - 3.8[/tex]

[tex]2k= 9 - 3.8[/tex]

[tex]2k = 5.2[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]k = 5.2/2[/tex]

[tex]k = 2.6[/tex]
