Answer

$x=\frac{m}{2+k}$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 2x+kx=m$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow x(2+k)=m$ Divide both sides by $2+k$. $\Rightarrow \frac{x(2+k)}{2+k}=\frac{m}{2+k}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=\frac{m}{2+k}$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $x=\frac{m}{2+k}$.
