Question

What does this problem equal?show your work.-12(k+4)=60

Answer 1

Hi there,
Here is how you solve the equation for k-
$-12(k+4)=60$
$-12k-48=60$
$-12k=108$
$k=-9$
Therefore, the answer to your query is k = -9. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Answer 2

Hey there!

First, divide both sides by 12
-12(k+4)/-12= 60/-12 and you would getk+4=5
Now subtract 4 from both sides

k+4-4= 5-4

k=-9
