Question

Solve the equation. k-8=11.8

Answer 1

8+11.8=19.8
K is 19.8

Answer 2

Since the question is asking to determine what k is, you would want to put all the number on the other side and leave k isolated so that you find k.

In this case, add 8 on both sides.

11.8 + 8 = 19.8

k = 19.8

To summarize, we added k on both sides and that simply gave the answer, since there was nothing else to be done.
