Answer:


\Huge\boxed{k=2.5}

Explanation:

Given -2.1k + 13 + 6.5k = 24 we need to isolate the variable using inverse operations

step 1 combine any like terms

sometimes there are not like terms but in this case there are. When there are like terms (must be on the same side of the = ) you add them together

-2.1k + 6.5k = 4.4k

now we have

4.4k + 13 = 24

Now we want to get rid of the 13

To do so we subtract 13 from each side

13 - 13 cancels out

24 - 13 = 11

now we have 4.4k=11

now we want to get rid of the 4.4

To do so we divide each side by 4.4

4.4k/4=k

11/4.4=2.5

we're left with k - 2.5
