Question

Solve the equation
1/3(9k+3)=-2(k-8)

Answer 1

k=3

Explanation:

Answer 2

k = 3

Explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation

(
`(1)/(3)`) (9k) + (
`(1)/(3)`) (3) = (-2) (k) + (-2) (-8) (distribute)

3k + 1 = -2k +16

step 2: add 2k to both sides

3k + 1 + 2k =-2k + 16 + 2k

5k + 1 = 16

step 3: subtract 1 from both sides

5k + 1 - 1 = 16 - 1

5k = 15

step 4: divide both sides by 5

`(5k)/(5)` =
`(15)/(5)`

k = 3
