-7k=-8.5 since if you were to plug the number Back in (-7k(6.5)=7.5 the equation is correct

Answer:

-7k = -45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by plugging in the “k” to the problems that are listed.
If you were to plug 6.5 in for all those problems, you’d get:

-3(6.5) = -19.5

-1 + 6.5 = 5.5

-7(6.5) = -45.5

-2 + 6.5 = 4.5

So, in this case, looking at the ones I answered and looking at the problems listed, the correct answer would have to be -7k = -45.5.
