The answer is K=-1/5

You suppose to divide both sides by 3.

Move the constant to the left-hand side and change its sign Use a^2 + 2 ab+ b^2 = (a+b)^2 to factor the expression.

The only way an exponentiation can be 0 is when the base equals 0.

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign.

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.
