Glad to help, but in my view "helping" means providing you with assistance only after you've begun your own efforts to solve these problems.

Look at 3(k+5)=-2(3k-6). Goal: Solve for k.
Multiplying where indicated:

3k + 15 = -6k + 12

Add 6k to both sides: 9k = 12 - 15

dividing both sides by 9: k = -3/9, or k = -1/3 (answer).

Please start one of the other solutions; ask if you have questions about it.
