Answer:

k<-9

Explanation:

First you want to isolate the variable, or k in this case. So you will subtract 12 on both sides which will leave you with -2k<18. Then you will divide both sides by -2. Which turns into k>-9. But since you divided by a negative, the sign changes, so the answer would be k<-9.
