If (K2)\(_6\) * 3\(_6\) = 3\(_5\)(K4)\(_5\), what is the value of k?
The correct answer is D. 2
The given equation is \((K2)_6 \cdot 3_6 = 3_5 \cdot (K4)_5\).
Let's first convert the numbers to their decimal equivalents:
\((K2)_6 = 6k + 2\)
\(3_6 = 3\)
\(3_5 = 3\)
\((K4)_5 = 5k + 4\)
Now, we can rewrite the equation using decimal values:
\((6k + 2) \cdot 3 = 3 \cdot (5k + 4)\)
Simplify the equation:
\(18k + 6 = 15k + 12\)
Subtract \(15k\) from both sides:
\(3k + 6 = 12\)
Subtract 6 from both sides:
\(3k = 6\)
Finally, divide by 3:
\(k = 2\)
