Solve 4m/k=-17

$$\frac { 4 m } { k } = - 17$$

Solve for k

$$k=-\frac{4m}{17}$$

$$m\neq 0$$

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.

$$4m=-17k$$

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

$$-17k=4m$$

Divide both sides by -17.

$$\frac{-17k}{-17}=\frac{4m}{-17}$$

Dividing by -17 undoes the multiplication by -17.

$$k=\frac{4m}{-17}$$

Divide 4m by -17.

$$k=-\frac{4m}{17}$$

Variable k cannot be equal to 0.

$$k=-\frac{4m}{17}\text{, }k\neq 0$$

Solve for m

$$m=-\frac{17k}{4}$$

$$k\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by k.

$$4m=-17k$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4m}{4}=-\frac{17k}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$m=-\frac{17k}{4}$$
