Question 500035: Hi, Can you please help me with my Algebra homework?
The problem I am having trouble with is
5/12 = -5k/4 + 2/3 - 3/2
Five over twelve = negative five k over four + two over three - three over two.
I am a Straight A honor student, and I have a test tomorrow. If I fail my test, I fail this semester. Thank you SOO MUCH for your help!!!

5%2F12+=+-5k%2F4+%2B2%2F3+-+3%2F2
add 5k/4 to both sides
5k%2F4+%2B5%2F12+=-5k%2F4%2B-5k%2F4+%2B2%2F3+-3%2F2
5k%2F4+=+2%2F3-3%2F2-5%2F12
LCD = 12
15k=8-18-10
15k=-20
k=-20/15
k=-4/3
