\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{3k - 12 = 6}


\large\text{ADD 12 to BOTH SIDES}


\textsf{3k - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12}


\large\text{Cancel out: -12 + 12 because it gives you 0}


\large\text{Keep: 6 + 12 because it helps you solve for k}


\mathsf{6 + 12 = 18}


\large\text{New equation: 3k = 18}


\mathsf{3k = 18}


\large\text{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(3k)/(3) = (18)/(3)}


\large\text{Cancel out: }\mathsf{(3)/(3)}\large\text{ because that gives you 1 }


\large\text{Keep: }\mathsf{(18)/(3)}\large\text{ because that helps you solve for k}


\large\text{New equation}\mathsf{(18)/(3)=k}


\mathsf{(18)/(3)=18/3\rightarrow\bf 6}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge\bf k = 6}}}\huge\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
