Solve 25/3=k-273/5

$$\frac { 25 } { 3 } = \frac { k - 273 } { 5 }$$

Solve for k

$$k = \frac{944}{3} = 314\frac{2}{3} \approx 314.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$\frac{25}{3}\times 5=k-273$$

Express \frac{25}{3}\times 5 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{25\times 5}{3}=k-273$$

Multiply 25 and 5 to get 125.

$$\frac{125}{3}=k-273$$

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

$$k-273=\frac{125}{3}$$

Add 273 to both sides.

$$k=\frac{125}{3}+273$$

Convert 273 to fraction \frac{819}{3}.

$$k=\frac{125}{3}+\frac{819}{3}$$

Since \frac{125}{3} and \frac{819}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$k=\frac{125+819}{3}$$

Add 125 and 819 to get 944.

$$k=\frac{944}{3}$$
