Answer:

k = -3.5

Explanation:

6k ÷ 7 = -3

Multiply 7 to both sides

6k = -21

Divide both sides by 6

6k/6 = -21/6

k = -3.5

To check if the answer is correct or not, you can always plug in -3.5 for k in the equation.

6(-3.5) ÷ 7 = -3

-21 ÷ 7 = -3

-3 = -3

-3 equals -3 so it is correct that k = -3.5
