3k-1=7k%2B2 Start with the given equation.


3k=7k%2B2%2B1 Add 1 to both sides.


3k-7k=2%2B1 Subtract 7k from both sides.


-4k=2%2B1 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4k=3 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%283%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate k.


k=-3%2F4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is k=-3%2F4
