Solve k+4+41/2-k=

$$k + 4 + 4 \frac { 1 } { 2 } - k =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{2}=8.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$k+4+\frac{8+1}{2}-k$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$k+4+\frac{9}{2}-k$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{8}{2}.

$$k+\frac{8}{2}+\frac{9}{2}-k$$

Since \frac{8}{2} and \frac{9}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$k+\frac{8+9}{2}-k$$

Add 8 and 9 to get 17.

$$k+\frac{17}{2}-k$$

Combine k and -k to get 0.

$$\frac{17}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2} = 8\frac{1}{2} = 8.5$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{17}{2}$$
