Question

Solve -8b+k=-3 for k. How would I solve this?

Answer 1

\[\Large -8b+k=-3 \]


\[\Large k=-3+8b \]

Answer 2

We're basically subtracting 8b on the left side, so we "undo" this by adding 8b to both sides

Answer 3

this will isolate k

Answer 4

How come you don't add 8b

Answer 5

he did add 8b

Answer 6

on the second line I'm adding 8b to both sides, on the left side it's not shown since -8b+8b = 0b = 0 which goes away (which is what we want)
