Question

Solve each equation 24 = 5k - 8k

Answer 1

k = -8

Explanation:

Solve for k

First we re arrange our equation so that it look simple to calculate.

24=5k-8k

5k-8k = 24

-3k = 24

Divide -3 both side to get the value of k

k = -8

To prove substitute k into formula:

5k-8k = 24

5 (-8) - 8 (-8) = 24

-40 + 64 = 24

24 = 24

Answer 2

k = -8

Explanation:

24 = 5k - 8k

24 = -3k

k = 24/(-3)

k = -8
