Question

Write an equation to represent the following statement. 33 is 15 less than k. ______ Solve for k. K= _____

Answer 1

in the first box put k-15=33

in the second box put k=48

Explanation:

if you look at what it says, it says 33 is 15 less than k. so we know that we are going to have 33 on one side and k and 15 on the other. it also says 15 less than k, so that would be k-15

33=k-15 or k-15=33

now we have to solve this. add 15 to each side to cancel out the -15

that gives you k=48
