Question

-4(k+2) = -k+31 i need the steps to solve it

Answer 1

k = -13

Explanation:

Distributive property

(-4 x k + -4 x 2)

-4k + -8 = -k + 31

subtract 31 from both sides.

-4k - 39 = -k

add 4k to both sides

-39 = 3k

divide 3 from both sides

-13 = k

Answer 2

Answer:

k = -13

Explanation:

-4(k +2) = -k +31

you multiply the bracket by -4

-4k-8 = -k+31

Collect the like terms

-4k+k = 31+8

-3k =39

divide both sides by -3

k = -13
