2\left(1+\frac{2k}{n}\right)n=nn
Multiply both sides of the equation by n.
2\left(1+\frac{2k}{n}\right)n=n^{2}
Multiply n and n to get n^{2}.
2\left(\frac{n}{n}+\frac{2k}{n}\right)n=n^{2}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{n}{n}.
2\times \frac{n+2k}{n}n=n^{2}
Since \frac{n}{n} and \frac{2k}{n} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2\left(n+2k\right)}{n}n=n^{2}
Express 2\times \frac{n+2k}{n} as a single fraction.
\frac{2\left(n+2k\right)n}{n}=n^{2}
Express \frac{2\left(n+2k\right)}{n}n as a single fraction.
2\left(n+2k\right)=n^{2}
Cancel out n in both numerator and denominator.
2n+4k=n^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by n+2k.
4k=n^{2}-2n
Subtract 2n from both sides.
\frac{4k}{4}=\frac{n\left(n-2\right)}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
k=\frac{n\left(n-2\right)}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
