Answer:
[tex]k = 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]12k - 15 = 35 + 2k[/tex]
Our goal is to isolate k
[tex]12k - 15 = 35 + 2k\\\;\;\;\;+15 \;\;\;\;\;\;\; +15[/tex]
[tex]12k = 50 + 2k\\-2k \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; -2k[/tex]
[tex]10k = 50[/tex]
Now we have k isolated to one side. Our final step is to have k be just k, no coefficient. We can do this by dividing each side by the coefficient.
[tex]\large\frac{10k}{10} = \frac{50}{10} \\\\10k\;\div\;10 = k\\50\;\div\;10 = 5\\[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed {k \;=\;5}[/tex]
