Hey there!

First, divide both sides by 12
-12(k+4)/-12= 60/-12 and you would getk+4=5
Now subtract 4 from both sides

k+4-4= 5-4

k=-9

Hi there,
Here is how you solve the equation for k-

-12(k+4)=60

-12k-48=60

-12k=108

k=-9
Therefore, the answer to your query is k = -9. Hope this helps and have a great day!
