Let's solve this question by step by step.
Layout equation.
−104=−8(k+8)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−104=−8(k+8)
−104=(−8)(k)+(−8)(8)(Distribute)
−104=−8k+−64
−104=−8k−64
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−8k−64=−104
Step 3: Add 64 to both sides.
−8k−64+64=−104+64
−8k=−40
Step 4: Divide both sides by -8.
-8k/-8=-40/-8
The answer for this problem is k=5.
