Question

Solve - 8 = k-4 divided -6.What is k = to?

Answer 1

The given equation is

`-8=(k-4)/(-6)`

→ At first, multiply both sides by - 6 to cancel the denominator on the right side

`\begin{gathered} \because-8*-6=((k-4))/(-6)*-6 \\ \therefore48=k-4 \end{gathered}`

→ Now add 4 to both sides to move (-4) from the right side to the left side

`\begin{gathered} \because48+4=k-4+4 \\ \therefore52=k+0 \\ \therefore52=k \end{gathered}`

The value of k is 52
