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:


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!
