Question

Back to my question. I have this problem that I cant solve.

-21-9k=-8(6k+3)
I need to get the answer k= -0.08
Can someone please help me and give me the explanation?

Answer 1

Here's how to solve your equation step by step:

−21−9k=−8(6k+3)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−21−9k=−8(6k+3)

−21+−9k=(−8)(6k)+(−8)(3) (Distribute)

−21+−9k=−48k+−24

−9k−21=−48k−24

Step 2: Add 48k to both sides.

−9k−21+48k=−48k−24+48k

39k−21=−24

Step 3: Add 21 to both sides.

39k−21+21=−24+21

39k=−3

Step 4: Divide both sides by 39.

39k/39 = -3/39

Here's the answer: -1/13 or -0.08.
