Question

Simplify: 6k + 2 = 8. Enter the value of k. *

Answer 1

Hey!

If you switch the equation around, it becomes: 8 - 2 = 6k

8 - 2 = 6

6 = 6k

Divide both sides by 6

6 ÷ 6 = 1

6k ÷ 6 = k

1 = k

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

6k + 2 = 8

Isolate the 8. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.

Subtract 2 from both sides

6k + 2 (-2) = 8 (-2)
6k = 8 - 2
6k = 6

Isolate the k, divide6 from both sides.

6k/6 = 6/6

k = 6/6
k = 1

1 is your answer.

Hope this helps
