Solve 7/5-k=7/6

$$\frac { 7 } { 5 } - k = \frac { 7 } { 6 }$$

Solve for k

$$k=\frac{7}{30}\approx 0.233333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{7}{5} from both sides.

$$-k=\frac{7}{6}-\frac{7}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 5 is 30. Convert \frac{7}{6} and \frac{7}{5} to fractions with denominator 30.

$$-k=\frac{35}{30}-\frac{42}{30}$$

Since \frac{35}{30} and \frac{42}{30} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-k=\frac{35-42}{30}$$

Subtract 42 from 35 to get -7.

$$-k=-\frac{7}{30}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$k=\frac{7}{30}$$
