Answer 1

`\huge\bf{ANSWER:}`

`\huge\mathrm{k=6}\checkmark`

`\huge\bf{SOLUTION:}`

Hey there, hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Let's solve this math problem. First of all, let's use the Distributive Property:

`\rm{5+4(k-1)=25`

`\rm{5+4k-4=25`

Now, move all the constants (numbers without a variable next to them) to the right, using the opposite operation:

`\rm{4k=25-5+4`

`\rm{4k=20+4`

Add:

`\rm{4k=24`

Divide both sides by 4 in order to isolate k:

`\rm{k=6}` (Answer)

Hope you find it helpful.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

Answer 2

k=6

Explanation:

subtract 5 from both sides

4(k-1)=20

divide 4 on from both sides

k-1=5

add 1 on both sides

k=6
