Answer:

6

Explanation:

k - 16 + 4k = -2(2k -1) + 6k

5k - 16 = -2(2k - 1) + 6k

5k - 16 = -4k + 2 + 6k

5k - 16 = 2k + 2

3k = 18

k = 6

Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

First let's distribute the left side of the equation.

k - 16 + 4k = -2(2k -1) + 6k

Then let's combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

5k - 16 = -2(2k - 1) + 6k

Then let's distribute the right side of the equation.

5k - 16 = -4k + 2 + 6k

Then let's combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

5k - 16 = 2k + 2

Then let's move all the x's to one side, and all the constants to the other.

3k = 18

Then divide both sides of the equation by 3.

k = 6

Hope it helps <3
