What value of k makes the statement true?

–(k + 12) = 6 + (–12)

A.
–18

B.
–6

C.
6

D.
18
my answer is:b

Answer 1

\(–(k + 12) = 6 + (–12)\)

Distribute -1 into the parenthesis:

\(-k - 12 = 6 - 12\)

Subtract:

\(-k - 12 = -6\)

Add 12 to both sides:

\(-k = 6\)

Multiply -1 to both sides:

\(k = -6\)
