Question

18k+26-8k=86

I’m confused

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{K=6}`

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, group like terms.

`\displaystyle 18k-8k+26=86`

Add.

`\displaystyle 18k-8k=10k`

`\displaystyle 10k+26=86`

Next, subtract 26 from both sides.

`\displaystyle 10k+26-26=86-26`

Solve.

`\displaystyle 86-26=60`

`\displaystyle 10k=60`

Then, divide by 10 from both sides.

`\displaystyle (10k)/(10)=(60)/(10)`

Solve.

`\displaystyle 60/10=6`

In conclusion, the correct answer is k=6.

Hope this helps!

Have a wonderful blessing day! :)

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

`\text{Hey there!}`

`\text{18k + 226 - 8k = 86}\\\text{First, group/ combine the like terms: (18k + (-8k)) + (26) = 86}\\\text{18k + (-8k) = 10k-8k}\rightarrow\text{ 10k}\\\text{10k + 26 = 86}\\\text{You have to subtract by the \#26 on your sides}\\\text{10k + 26}\bf{- 26}\text{= 86\bf{ -26}}\\\text{Cancel out: 26 - 26 because it equals 0}\\\text{Keep: 86 -26 because it helps us solve for our answer.}\\\text{86 - 26 = 60}\\\rightarrow\text{10k = 60}\\\text{ Divide both sides by the \#10 on your sides}`

`\frac{10\text{k}}{10} = (60)/(10)\\\\\text{Cancel out:}\frac{10\text{k}}{10}\text{ because it equals to 1}\\\text{Keep:}(60)/(10)\text{ because it equals to the value of k}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: k = 6}}}\checkmark`
