Tried another way without getting rid of fractions, still wrong answer.
This time I have cleared the fractions and still get wrong answer.
1/2(k-3)=1/3(k+16)
1/2k-3/2= 1/3k+16/3
6(3/6 k-9/6)=6(2/6 k+48/6)
18/6 k-54/6=12/6 k+288/6
3k-9=2k+48
3k-2k-9=2k-2k+48
k-9=48
k=57
CHECK
1/2(57-3)=1/3(57+16)
23.5-1.5=19+5.3
22 = 24.3
Help appreciated.
