Question

Somebody please help me on multiple step equations with parenthesis.

Answer 1

k = 8

Explanation:

8(10 - k) = 2k

First, distribute within the parenthesis,

80 - 8k = 2k

Add 8k to both sides of the equation

80 = 10k

Divide both sides by 10 to get your answer

8 = k

I hope this helps :)
