Answer:

K = -72

Explanation:

1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8

2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72

To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.
