Rounded to the nearest hundredths 27.5=3+5(k-9.5)

12 = k

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin: 27.5 = 3 + 5 (k-9.5)

1. Always begin with the parenthesis, which is 5(k-9.5), which comes out to be 5k - 47.5 since the 5 must be multiplied by the k and the -9.5.

Now: 27.5 = 3 + 5k - 47.5

2. Combine the 3 and -47.5, which comes to be -44.5

Now: 27.5 = -44.5 + 5k

3. Add 44.5 to both sides, to make the right side have only the 5k, and the left side to have 72

27.5 + 44.5 = -44.5 + 44.5 + 5k

Now: 72 = 5k

4. Divide both sides by 5 to be left with just what k equals

72/5 = 5k/5

Final 12 = k
