Question

$$5k\cdot3=3k$$

Solve for k

$k=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Cancel out $3$ on both sides.

$$5k=k$$

Subtract $k$ from both sides.

$$5k-k=0$$

Combine $5k$ and $-k$ to get $4k$.

$$4k=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $4$ is not equal to $0$, $k$ must be equal to $0$.

$$k=0$$
