$k = \frac{m - 2 j}{2}$ $color(blue)(k =(m - 2 j)/2$

$2 (j + k) = m$ $2 (j+k) =m$

$2 \times (j) + 2 \times (k) = m$ $2 xx (j) + 2 xxcolor(blue)( (k)) =m$

Note: The term containing $k$ $k$ needs to be isolated.

$2 j + 2 k = m$ $2 j + color(blue)(2k) =m$

$2 k = m - 2 j$ $color(blue)(2k) =m - 2 j$

$k = \frac{m - 2 j}{2}$ $color(blue)(k =(m - 2 j)/2$

How do you solve for k in 2(j+k)=m2(j+k)=m?
