| 3 | ÷ | 2 | × | k | − | 3 | k | + | 4 | ÷ | 1 | = | 18 | + | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | k | − | 3 | k | + | 4 |
| = | - | 3 2 | k | + | 4 |
| - | 3 2 | k | + | 4 | = | 18 | + | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 24 |
| - | 3 2 | k | + | 4 | = | 24 |
| - | 3 2 | k | = | 24 | − | 4 |
| - | 3 2 | k | = | 20 |
| - | 20 | = | 3 2 | k |
3 2 | k | = | - | 20 |
| k | = | - | 20 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | - | 20 | × | 2 3 |
| k | = | - | 40 3 |
| k | = | - 13.333333 |
