Question

Please help me solve this equation and show the work show me how you got the answer

Answer 1

Answer: k=3

Explanation:

To solve for k, you want to isolate k.

`(2)/(5) (5k+35)-8=12` [add both sides by 8]

`(2)/(5) (5k+35)=20` [multiply both sides by 5/2]

`5k+35=50` [subtract both sides by 35]

`5k=15` [divide both sides by 5]

`k=3`

Now, we know that k=3.
