Answer:

True

Explanation:

If k = 2, then we plug in 2 for every instance there is a k. So...

8k + 4 > 18

Will turn into...

8(2) + 4 > 18

Then solve using PEMDAS (or whatever you were taught. Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

16 + 4 > 18

20 > 18

Since 20 is greater than 18, 2 can be a solution for this inequality.
