Question

How do i figure out k in the equation 6k-25=7-2k

Answer 1

k = 8

Explanation:

You are given 6k - 25 = 7 - 2k

First, you add positive 2k to both sides.

4k - 25 = 7

Then, add 25 to both sides.

4k = 32

Finally, divide both sides by 4. This will isolate the variable k.

`(4k)/(4) = (32)/(4)`

1k = 8

We know that any number times one is itself, so 1k is equal to the variable k. We can now remove the variable, because it is redundant.

k = 8

This means for every single one of k, you have 8.
