Answer:

8k-12=3

8k=3+12 [we equate the negative 12 from LHS and take it to RHS and its value becomes positive there fore 3 +12 is possible]

8k=15

k=15/8[algebraic rule of there is no sign between number and variable there is ment to be multiplication and when the multiply is taken to next sign it becomes division and becomes a denominator]

k=1.875
