To solve this equation, we can start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
First, let's add 109 to both sides of the equation: k ÷ 16 - 109 + 109 = 231 + 109
Simplifying this equation, we have: k ÷ 16 = 340
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 16 to solve for k: (k ÷ 16) * 16 = 340 * 16
Simplifying further, we get: k = 5440
Therefore, k is equal to 5440.
