Solve 4m/k=-16

$$\frac { 4 m } { k } = - 16$$

Solve for k

$$k=-\frac{m}{4}$$

$$m\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable k cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by k.

$$4m=-16k$$

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

$$-16k=4m$$

Divide both sides by -16.

$$\frac{-16k}{-16}=\frac{4m}{-16}$$

Dividing by -16 undoes the multiplication by -16.

$$k=\frac{4m}{-16}$$

Divide 4m by -16.

$$k=-\frac{m}{4}$$

Variable k cannot be equal to 0.

$$k=-\frac{m}{4}\text{, }k\neq 0$$

Solve for m

$$m=-4k$$

$$k\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by k.

$$4m=-16k$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4m}{4}=-\frac{16k}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$m=-\frac{16k}{4}$$

Divide -16k by 4.

$$m=-4k$$
