Answer:

The answer is

$\huge \boxed{k = (8)/(3) } \\$

Explanation:

−3(k − 2) = −2

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

- 3k + 6 = - 2

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

We have

$- 3k + 6 - 6 = - 2 - 6 \\ - 3k = - 8$

Divide both sides by - 3

$( - 3k)/( - 3) = ( - 8)/( - 3) \\$

We have the final answer as

$k = (8)/(3) \\$

Hope this helps you
