Question

Solve the equation 2 over 3 k + 6 = -12 for k. Please show your work

Answer 1

\[\frac{2}{3k + 6} = -12 ?\]

Answer 2

2 = -36k - 72

74 = -36k

k = 74/-36

Answer 3

moneybird, simplify it though

Answer 4

37/-18

Answer 5

2 over 3 k + 6 = -12 for k.
(2/3)(k+6) = -12
multiply 2/3 and k+6
2k+12 over 3 = -12
to remove the denominator multiply both sides of the equation by 3
2k+12 = -36
to solve for k subtract 12 on both sides of the equation
2k+12-12 = -36-12
2k = - 48
divide both sides of the equation by 2
2k/2 = -48/2
k = -24
