Question

28 is 12 less than k as an equation. what is the value of k

Answer 1

28 = k - 12
28 + 12 = k
40 = k

Answer 2

Answer: The value of k is 40.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

28 is 12 less than k.

It means if we subtract 12 from k we would get 28.

12 Less than k means k-12,

'is' is used for equality.

Mathematically, it is expressed as

`k-12=28\\\\k=28+12\\\\k=40`

Hence, the value of k is 40.
