32k-16\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5k}{4}\right)=4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
32k-16\times \frac{3+5k}{4}=4
Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{5k}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
32k-4\left(3+5k\right)=4
Cancel out 4, the greatest common factor in 16 and 4.
32k-12-20k=4
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 3+5k.
12k-12=4
Combine 32k and -20k to get 12k.
12k=4+12
Add 12 to both sides.
12k=16
Add 4 and 12 to get 16.
k=\frac{16}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
k=\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
