Solve for k -k/5=7/5

$- \frac{k}{5} = \frac{7}{5}$

Step 1

Since the expression on each side of the equation has the same denominator, the numerators must be equal.

$- k = 7$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- k = 7$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- k = 7$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- k}{- 1} = \frac{7}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{k}{1} = \frac{7}{- 1}$

Divide $k$ by $1$ .

$k = \frac{7}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $7$ by $- 1$ .

$k = - 7$
