Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:
`\boxed{k = -7}`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`-30=5k+5`

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

`5k+5=-30`

Subtract 5 from both sides.

`5k=-30-5`

Subtract 5 from −30 to get −35.

`5k=-35`

Divide both sides by 5.

`k=(-35)/(5)`

Divide −35 by 5 to get, you guessed it, -7!

You can also do "5(-7) + 5 = ??" For proof.
