Question

8(k+3)=12k−4 k = ______

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

`8(k+3)=12k-4k`

Distribute the 8

`8k+24=12k-4k`

Combine like-terms on right side

`8k+24=8k`

This equation is not true because for any value for k, this equation will never be true. For example, if we subtract 8k from both sides, we get

`24=0`

This isn’t a true statement, so your answer would be one of the following:

k=∅
