Solve 15=k/40^1.4

$$15 = \frac{ k }{ { 40 }^{ 1.4 } }$$

Solve for k

$$k=600\times 40^{0.4}\approx 2624.068977464$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{k}{40^{1.4}}=15$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\frac{1}{40\times 40^{0.4}}k=15$$

Divide both sides by \frac{1}{40}\times 40^{-0.4}.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{40\times 40^{0.4}}k\times 40\times 40^{0.4}}{1}=\frac{15\times 40\times 40^{0.4}}{1}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{40}\times 40^{-0.4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{40}\times 40^{-0.4}.

$$k=\frac{15\times 40\times 40^{0.4}}{1}$$

Divide 15 by \frac{1}{40}\times 40^{-0.4}.

$$k=600\times 40^{0.4}$$
