-6k-18=6(3k+1

OpenStudy (abb0t):

What are you being asked to do here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Figure out for k

OpenStudy (abb0t):

First, distribute the 6 across the parenthesis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok what would that lead up too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you will be able to identify your like terms. This will allow you to bring them across the equal sign to simplify them.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

-6k-18=18k+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should have -6k-18=18k + 6 You can then bring over the 6 by subtracting it from each side -6k - 24 = 18k You can then divide the -6k to each side -24 = -3k Can you simplify from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now how did you get that? You have to get the k by itself There is a -3 multiplied to it Divide each side by -3, And your answer will be x = 8 Does that make sense?
