Question

Please explain,
2/3k + 6 = -12

Answer 1

The whole idea is to get 'k' known as the variable by itself.

Answer 2

Why not first... subtract 6 from both sides? Then, what do you get?

Answer 3

2/3k = -18?

Answer 4

Good.

Answer 5

Now, what we can do to get rid of the fraction... is to multiply by 3 on both sides. What do you get?

Answer 6

would that be 6 = -54?

Answer 7

2k = -54

because the 3 basically just canceled out on the left side.

Answer 8

Ohh, gotchya

Answer 9

Divide by 2 and what do you get?

Answer 10

k = -27

Answer 11

Good.
