Question

Solve for k.
6k - 8 = 4K + 15

Answer 1

Hi,

Answer:

k =
`(23)/(2)`

Explanation:

Subtract 4k from both sides

6k - 4k = 2k

2k - 8 = 15

Add 8 on both sides (you want to get rid of the 8 in order to leave the k alone)

2k = 23

k = 23/2

Have a good day!

Answer 2

`k=23/2=11.5`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`6k-8=4k+15`

Add 8 to both sides. The left side cancels:

`6k=4k+23`

Subtract 4k from both sides. The right side cancels:

`2k=23`

Divide both sides by 2:

`k=23/2=11.5`

And we're done!
