Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is :

We need to find the value of this expression when h = 8, j = -1 and k = -12.
Put all the values in the given expression.

So, the value of the given expression is 12.
Explanation:
Consider ...
x/a = b/c . . . . . find x
Multiplying by the denominator under x gives ...
x = ab/c . . . . the value of the unknown.
____
In the case where the unknown is in the denominator, you can invert the ratios and solve as above:
a/x = c/b . . . . . note that x is in the denominator
x/a = b/c . . . . . equivalent equation, solve as above
(X-3)^2+5=14
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
X^2-6x+14=14
Step 2: subtract 14 from both sides
X^2-6x+14-14=14-14
X^2-6x=0
For this equation: a=1, b=-6,c=0
1x^2+-6x+0=0
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=-6, c=0
The answer is x=6 or x=0
Answer: k = -5
explanation-
distribute: -3k + -21 - 5k + 4= 23
combine: -8k -17 = 23
add 17 to both sides: -8k = 40
divide both sides by -8: k=-5
