Hey there!
First: Distribute the problem
Like: 4(k) and 4(6) (other half) -4(2k) and 4!)
Problem become: [tex]-5k + 4k + 24 = -8k + 1 [/tex]
Second: Combine your like terms
Like: [tex]-5k + 4k + 24 = -8k - 4 [/tex]
Problem becomes: [tex]-k + 24 = -8k - 4 [/tex]
Third: add the value [tex]8k[/tex] to your sides
Like: [tex]-k + 24 + 8k \\ \\ = -8k - 4 + 8k [/tex]
Problem becomes: [tex]7k + 24 = -4 [/tex]
Fourth: subtract by [tex]24[/tex] on each of your sides
Like: [tex]7k + 24 - 24 \\ \\ = -4 - 24 [/tex]
Problem becomes: [tex]7k = -28[/tex]
Fifth: divide both sides by [tex]7[/tex]
Like: [tex] \frac{7k}{7} = \frac{-28}{7} [/tex]
[tex]Answer: k =-4 [/tex]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
