Solve 2/9+k=11/15

$$\frac { 2 } { 9 } + k = \frac { 11 } { 15 }$$

Solve for k

$$k=\frac{23}{45}\approx 0.511111111$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{2}{9} from both sides.

$$k=\frac{11}{15}-\frac{2}{9}$$

Least common multiple of 15 and 9 is 45. Convert \frac{11}{15} and \frac{2}{9} to fractions with denominator 45.

$$k=\frac{33}{45}-\frac{10}{45}$$

Since \frac{33}{45} and \frac{10}{45} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$k=\frac{33-10}{45}$$

Subtract 10 from 33 to get 23.

$$k=\frac{23}{45}$$
