Answer:


k=-7

Explanation:


22k-39=11k+2\left(10k+12\right)

Apply the Distributive Property


22k-39=11k+20k+24

Combine like terms


22k-39=31k+24

Rearrange variables to the left side of the equation


22k-31k=24+39

Combine like terms


-9k=24+39

Calculate the sum or difference


-9k=63

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable


k=-(63)/(9)

Cross out the common factor


k=-7

I hope this helps you

:)
