Question

2 (2k – 16) = -30 + 4k – 2
Can anyone help me with this

Answer 1

0 =0

Both sides are equal

There are infinite solutions

Explanation:

`2 (2k - 16) = -30 + 4k - 2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-30-2=-32\\2\left(2k-16\right)=4k-32\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}2\left(2k-16\right):\quad 4k-32\\\\4k-32=4k-32\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}32\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\4k-32+32=4k-32+32\\\\Simplify\\\\4k =4k\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}4k\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\4k-4k=4k-4k\\\\Simplify\\\\0=0\\\\\mathrm{Both\:sides\:are\:equal}`
