Question

8(4k - 4) = -5k - 32

Answer 1

k=0

Explanation:

8(4k-4)=5k-32

32k-32=-5k-32

32k-32+32=-5k-32+32

32k=-5k

32k+5k=-5k+5k

37k=0

37k/37=0/37

k=0

Answer 2

k=0

Explanation:

To solve for k, we need to first distribute the 8 through the parenthesis.

32k-32=-5k-32

Lets add 5k to both sides.

37k-32=-32

add 32 to both sides

37k=0

divide 37 from both sides

k=0
