-3(k+7)-5k+4=23 what is the value of K?

2 answers:

5 0

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−3(k+7)−5k+4=23

−8k−17=23

Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.
−8k−17+17=23+17
−8k=40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.

-8k/-8=40/-8

The answer is k= -5

Hope this helped :)

-3(k+7)-5k+4=23
-3k-21-5k+4=23
Get rid of the numbers that aren't being multiplied by k:
-3k-5k=23+21-4
Add like things:
-8k=40
Divide by -8 on both sides to get k by itself and to make the equation even:
k=-5

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle A'B'C' are $A'(x,y) = (0,-4)$ , $B'(x,y) = (2,-1)$ and $C'(x,y) = (3,-5)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, triangle ABC must be translated 5 units in the -y direction to form triangle A'B'C'. We need to use the following operations:

$A'(x,y) = A(x,y) +(0,-5)$ (1)
