We want: x = y
Replace values with their equivalents: 5 - 4k = 5k - 3
Add 4k to both sides: 5 = 9k - 3
Add 3 to both sides: 8 = 9k
Divide both sides by 9 to get: 8/9 = k

Answer: B

Cheers,
Brent

Since we need to determine the value of k such that x = y, we can equate our two expressions, and we have:

5 - 4k = 5k - 3

8 = 9k

8/9 = k

Answer: B
