Stuck... Show steps please!

Answer 1

5 - (6k + 1) = 2[(5k - 3) - (k - 2)]


5 - 6k - 1 = 2(5k - 3) - 2(k - 2)


5 - 6k - 1 = 10k - 6 - 2k + 4


-6k + 4 = 8k - 2


-6k - 8k = -2 - 4


-14k = -6


k = -6/(-14)


k = 3/7

You have the right idea, but you forgot to distribute the 2 across every term on the right side.
