Solution Steps

To solve the equation \(\frac{k}{3.5} + 7.4 = 8\), we need to isolate the variable \(k\). First, subtract 7.4 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side. Then, multiply both sides by 3.5 to solve for \(k\).

Step 1: Isolate the Variable

Starting with the equation

\[ \frac{k}{3.5} + 7.4 = 8 \]

we subtract \(7.4\) from both sides:

\[ \frac{k}{3.5} = 8 - 7.4 \]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[ \frac{k}{3.5} = 0.6 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(k\)

Next, we multiply both sides by \(3.5\) to isolate \(k\):

\[ k = 0.6 \times 3.5 \]

Calculating this product results in:

\[ k = 2.1 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the solution for \(k\) is

\[ \boxed{k = 2.1} \]
