Answer:


k = 5

Explanation:


12k - 15 = 35 + 2k

Our goal is to isolate k


12k - 15 = 35 + 2k\\\;\;\;\;+15 \;\;\;\;\;\;\; +15


12k = 50 + 2k\\-2k \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; -2k


10k = 50

Now we have k isolated to one side. Our final step is to have k be just k, no coefficient. We can do this by dividing each side by the coefficient.


\large(10k)/(10) = (50)/(10) \\\\10k\;/\;10 = k\\50\;/\;10 = 5\\


\large\boxed {k \;=\;5}
