Question

When 4(k + 2) = 32 − 2k is solved, the result is:

Answer 1

k=4

Explanation:

4(k+2)=32-2k

You would use distributive property with the 4 and the numbers in the parenthesis.

4k+8=32-2k

Next, you add 2k to both sides

6k+8=32

Then, you subtract 8 from each side

6k=24

Lastly, you divide by 6 on both sides

k=4

Answer 2

K=4

Explanation:

4(K+2)=32-2k

4k+8=32-2k

+2k +2k

6k+8=32

-8 -8

6k=24

divide 6 from both sides

k=6
