Answer:

Solution Steps:
______________________________
1.) Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side:
- This is an optional step. I prefer the numbers to be on the left hand side, but it's not necessary.
Equation at the end of Step 1:
2.) Add 2 to both sides:
Cancels Out
- When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.
- In this case, we have a -2. So to get rid of -2 we do the opposite: +2 on each side.
Equation at the end of Step 2:
3.) Divide both sides by 5:
÷

÷

- When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.
- In this case, we have 5 being multiplied by k. So to get rid of the 5 we do the opposite: Divide by 5 on each side.
