Add the numbers
124k4
124k4−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
124k4=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
124k4=5
Divide both sides
124124k4=1245
Divide the numbers
k4=1245
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
