Answer:

No solutions, there is nothing that will make the equation true

Explanation:

You need to isolate the variable

4(K-8) = -3+4K

First get ride of the parenthesis by distributing

(4 x k) - (4 x 8) =-3+4k

4k-32 = -3+4k

next rearrange the equation to have the variable on only one side

4k-32 = -3+4k (subtract 4k from one side)

-32 = -3

The variables canceled out, leaving an equation. If the equation is true there are infinite equations while if the equation is false there are no solutions

-32 is NOT equal to -3, meaning there are no solutions
