Explanation:
#"multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction"#
#cancel(2)xx3/cancel(2)k=2xx18#
#rArr3k=36#
#"divide both sides by 3"#
#(cancel(3) k)/cancel(3)=36/3#
#rArrk=12#
#color(blue)"As a check"# Substitute this value into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is the solution.
#"left "=3/cancel(2)^1xxcancel(12)^6=3xx6=18=" right"#
#rArrk=12" is the solution"#
