Explanation

To solve the given problem, we need to evaluate the integral on the left-hand side and relate it to the integral on the right-hand side to find the value of \( k \).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Set Up the Integral**:
We start with the left-hand side integral:
\[ I = \int_{-\pi/4}^{3\pi/4} \frac{e^{\pi/4}}{e^x + e^{\pi/4}} (\sin x + \cos x) \, dx \]

2. **Simplify the Integral**:
We can factor out \( e^{\pi/4} \):
\[ I = e^{\pi/4} \int_{-\pi/4}^{3\pi/4} \frac{1}{e^x + e^{\pi/4}} (\sin x + \cos x) \, dx \]

3. **Change of Variables**:
To simplify the integral, we can use the substitution:
\[ t = x - \frac{\pi}{4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad dx = dt \]
When \( x = -\frac{\pi}{4} \), \( t = -\frac{\pi}{2} \) and when \( x = \frac{3\pi}{4} \), \( t = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Thus, we rewrite the integral:
\[ I = e^{\pi/4} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{1}{e^{t + \pi/4} + e^{\pi/4}} (\sin(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) + \cos(t + \frac{\pi}{4})) \, dt \]

4. **Using Trigonometric Identities**:
We can express \( \sin(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) \) and \( \cos(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) \) using the angle addition formulas:
\[ \sin(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(\sin t + \cos t) \quad \text{and} \quad \cos(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(\cos t - \sin t) \]
Thus,
\[ \sin(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) + \cos(t + \frac{\pi}{4}) = \sqrt{2} \cos t \]

5. **Substituting Back**:
Substitute back into the integral:
\[ I = e^{\pi/4} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos t}{e^{t + \pi/4} + e^{\pi/4}} \, dt \]

6. **Further Simplification**:
Notice that \( e^{t + \pi/4} + e^{\pi/4} = e^{\pi/4}(e^t + 1) \):
\[ I = e^{\pi/4} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos t}{e^{\pi/4}(e^t + 1)} \, dt = \sqrt{2} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{\cos t}{e^t + 1} \, dt \]

7. **Relate to Right-Hand Side**:
The right-hand side of the original equation is:
\[ k \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \sec x \, dx \]
We need to find \( k \) such that:
\[ I = k \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \sec x \, dx \]

8. **Evaluate the Integral**:
The integral \( \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \sec x \, dx \) diverges, but we can find \( k \) by comparing coefficients. We have:
\[ I = \sqrt{2} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{\cos t}{e^t + 1} \, dt \]

9. **Final Calculation**:
Since \( \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \sec x \, dx \) diverges, we can compare the coefficients:
\[ k = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \]

### Conclusion:
Thus, the value of \( k \) is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}} \]
