You can't solve this without more information. You can rearrange in terms of k, but you can't solve for k. What is your exact question?

anonymous · Answer

Change it to 7k=4w+28 then divide by 7

hlares · Answer

To "solve" for k, you will first want to move the other variable to the right side of the equation. To do that, you will subtract 4w from both sides. After that, you will need to divide both sides by -7. Thus:
4w-7k=28
-7k=28-4w
k=(4/7)w-4

Divide all the numbers by 7
