Solve 1/2=k+1/3

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } = k + \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Solve for k

$$k=\frac{1}{6}\approx 0.166666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$k+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{3} from both sides.

$$k=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$k=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}$$

Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{2}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$k=\frac{3-2}{6}$$

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

$$k=\frac{1}{6}$$
