Solve k-5/6=11/12

$$k - \frac { 5 } { 6 } = \frac { 11 } { 12 }$$

Solve for k

$$k = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4} = 1.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add \frac{5}{6} to both sides.

$$k=\frac{11}{12}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Least common multiple of 12 and 6 is 12. Convert \frac{11}{12} and \frac{5}{6} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$k=\frac{11}{12}+\frac{10}{12}$$

Since \frac{11}{12} and \frac{10}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$k=\frac{11+10}{12}$$

Add 11 and 10 to get 21.

$$k=\frac{21}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$k=\frac{7}{4}$$
