Answer 1

-2/15

Answer 2

k = -7/3

Answer 3

i agree with Rho,K=-2/15,good luck!,

Answer 4

-5/2 times k/1 =1/3

(Im reading it -5/2 *k/1)

so then -5k/2=1/3  multiply both sides by 2

-5k=2/3

k=2/3 divided by -5

or 2/3 *-1/5

so k= -2/15

if you read the question different you'd get another answer

Answer 5

K = -2/15

Answer 6

Yep, as stated above me, k = -2/15.

(through -5k=2/3

k=2/(3*-5)

so k= -2/15)

Unless the equation is (-5/(2*k)) = 1/3, then

-5/2 = k/3

-15/2 = k

All of which is just algebraic rearrangement.

Answer 7

-5k/2 = 1/3

Use cross multiplying: -15k = 2

k = 2/-15

Check

2/-15 x -5/2 = -10/-30

1/3
