2\left(j-m\right)+mk=m\times 3-km
Multiply both sides of the equation by m.
2j-2m+mk=m\times 3-km
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by j-m.
2j+mk=m\times 3-km+2m
Add 2m to both sides.
2j+mk=5m-km
Combine m\times 3 and 2m to get 5m.
2j=5m-km-mk
Subtract mk from both sides.
2j=5m-2km
Combine -km and -mk to get -2km.
\frac{2j}{2}=\frac{m\left(5-2k\right)}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
j=\frac{m\left(5-2k\right)}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
j=-km+\frac{5m}{2}
Divide m\left(5-2k\right) by 2.
2\left(j-m\right)+mk=m\times 3-km
Multiply both sides of the equation by m.
2j-2m+mk=m\times 3-km
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by j-m.
2j-2m+mk+km=m\times 3
Add km to both sides.
2j-2m+2mk=m\times 3
Combine mk and km to get 2mk.
-2m+2mk=m\times 3-2j
Subtract 2j from both sides.
2mk=m\times 3-2j+2m
Add 2m to both sides.
2mk=5m-2j
Combine m\times 3 and 2m to get 5m.
\frac{2mk}{2m}=\frac{5m-2j}{2m}
Divide both sides by 2m.
k=\frac{5m-2j}{2m}
Dividing by 2m undoes the multiplication by 2m.
k=-\frac{j}{m}+\frac{5}{2}
Divide 5m-2j by 2m.
