Question

Solve - 5k + 25 = 40 – 2k.

Answer 1

Answer:

K= -5

Steps:

Put together like terms

-5k + 2k = 40 - 25

-3k = 40 - 25

-3k = -15

Divide both sides by -3

Then you get your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$k = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Add 5k to both sides

-5k + 25 + 5k = 40 - 2k + 5k

25 = 40 + 3k

Step 2:  Subtract 40 from both sides

25 - 40 = 40 + 3k - 40

-15 = 3k

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 3

-15 / 3 = 3k / 3

-5 = k

Answer: $k = -5$
