Question

Solve the following linear equation for k.
2 (k-5) + 3k = k + 6

Answer 1

K = 4

Explanation:

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

2k - 10 + 3k = k + 6

-10 + 5k = k + 6

-10 + 4k = 6

4k = 16

K = 4

Answer 2

k = 4

Explanation:

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

2k - 10 + 3k = k + 6

5k - 10 = k + 6

+ 10 + 10

5k = k + 16

- k - k

4k = 16

4 4

k = 4
