Solve for k:

(-5 k) / 6 = 1/6

Multiply both sides of (-5 k) / 6 = 1/6 by - 6/5:

(-6 (-5) k) / (5*6) = ((-6) / 5) / 6

(-6) / 5 * (-5) / 6 = (-6 (-5)) / (5*6):

(-6 (-5)) / (5*6) k = ((-6) / 5) / 6

((-6) / 5) / 6 = (-6) / (5*6):

(-6 (-5) k) / (5*6) = (-6) / (5*6)

(-6) / 6 = (6 (-1)) / 6 = - 1:

(-5-1 k) / 5 = (-6) / (5*6)

(-5) / 5 = (5 (-1)) / 5 = - 1:

--1 k = (-6) / (5*6)

(-1) ^2 = 1:

k = (-6) / (5*6)

(-6) / 6 = (6 (-1)) / 6 = - 1:

Answer: k = (-1) / 5
