Question

Solve the following linear equations
(i) 2(k − 3) = k +7
(ii) = -9
E
g+8
2​

Answer 1

The value of k=13

Explanation:

Given the equation

`2\left(k\:-3\right)\:=\:k\:+7`

`2k-6=k+7`

Add 6 to both sides

`2k-6+6=k+7+6`

`2k=k+13`

subtract k from both sides

`2k-k=k+13-k`

`k=13`

Therefore, the value of k=13
