Answer:

k=-2

Explanation:

Using substitution to find what you're missing, (in this case k) is when you plug each letter into the other equation:

-4k+3=3k+17

So now solve for k:

subtract 3 from both sides...

-4k=3k+14

subtract 3k from both sides to combine with -4k...

-7k=14

divide -7 from both sides...

k=-2
