Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
\frac{k+121}{\sqrt{9+16}}=3
Calculate 4 to the power of 2 and get 16.
\frac{k+121}{\sqrt{25}}=3
Add 9 and 16 to get 25.
\frac{k+121}{5}=3
Calculate the square root of 25 and get 5.
\frac{1}{5}k+\frac{121}{5}=3
Divide each term of k+121 by 5 to get \frac{1}{5}k+\frac{121}{5}.
\frac{1}{5}k=3-\frac{121}{5}
Subtract \frac{121}{5} from both sides.
\frac{1}{5}k=\frac{15}{5}-\frac{121}{5}
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{15}{5}.
\frac{1}{5}k=\frac{15-121}{5}
Since \frac{15}{5} and \frac{121}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{1}{5}k=-\frac{106}{5}
Subtract 121 from 15 to get -106.
k=-\frac{106}{5}\times 5
Multiply both sides by 5, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{5}.
k=-106
Cancel out 5 and 5.
