Question

solve for k.
\\(\frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{2} + k\\)
\\(k = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate k by subtracting $\frac{1}{2}$

$k = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{2}$

Step2: Find common denominator (10) to subtract

$k = \frac{8}{10} - \frac{5}{10}$

Step3: Subtract the numerators

$k = \frac{8-5}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{10}$
