Q. Solve for kk.\newlinek3=3|k| - 3 = 3\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinek=k = _____ or k=k = _____
  1. Set up the equation: Set up the equation.\newlineWe are given k3=3|k| - 3 = 3. To find the value of kk, we first need to isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation.\newlineAdd 33 to both sides of the equation to get k|k| on one side.\newlinek3+3=3+3|k| - 3 + 3 = 3 + 3\newlinek=6|k| = 6
  2. Solve for kk: Solve for kk.\newlineThe absolute value equation k=6|k| = 6 means that kk can be either 66 or 6-6 because the absolute value of both 66 and 6-6 is 66.\newlineSo, k=6k = 6 or kk00.
