Answer:
k = 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Use distributive property, meaning individually multiply 0.2 to each number/variable within the parameters
0.2 × k = 0.2k
0.2 × 2.4 = 0.48
0.2k + 0.48 = 3.2k
You cannot add a number and a variable so instead we should isolate the variable
Subtract 0.2k from both sides
0.48 = 3.2k - 0.2k
0.48 = 3.0k
0.48 = 3k
Divide both sides by 3
0.16 = k
