Question

Use the drop-down menus to choose steps in order to correctly solve 4k−6=-2k−16−2 for k .

Answer 1

The first drop-down is:

4k = -2k -12

The second drop-down is:

6k = -12

K = -2

Explanation:

I did it on IM and got it right

Answer 2

While there is no drop-down menu options for me to choose. I will show you how to solve this.


`\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-16-2=-18 \ \textgreater \ 4k-6=-2k-18`


`\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 4k-6+6=-2k-18+6 \ \textgreater \ Simplify`


`4k=-2k-12 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Add\:}2k\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 4k+2k=-2k-12+2k`

Simplify again.


`6k=-12 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}6 \ \textgreater \ (6k)/(6)=(-12)/(6) \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ k=-2`

Hope this helps!
