10k+5=12k
Use the distributive property to multiply 2.5 by 4k+2.
10k+5-12k=0
Subtract 12k from both sides.
-2k+5=0
Combine 10k and -12k to get -2k.
-2k=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
k=\frac{-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
k=\frac{5}{2}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{5}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
