You are close, but it is not the correct answer.

1 + 2k = 5k + 7

First, since we are trying to get the variable by itself, we need to move all things to one side. Let's subtract 1 from each side. 
2k = 5k + 7 - 1

Second, we can now subtract (7 - 1) to get 6. Let's add that into our problem and then subtract 5 from each side, still trying to get the variable by itself.
2k - 5k = 6

Third, subtract (2k - 5k) to get -3k. Hint the negative symbol now. If the problem were switched the other way, it would still be a positive. 
-3k = 6

Fourth, we can now divide each side by -3. This results in a fraction and also getting the variable by itself on one side of the problem. Remember the negative sign in front of the fraction since (-3) carried it.
k = - \frac{6}{3}

Fifth, this is our last step. We need to simplify the fraction. Since out fraction is 6/3, which number multiples by 3 to get the answer of 6? The answer is 2, since (3 × 2 = 6). Don't forget the negative!
k = -2

Answer: \fbox {k = -2}

X = 10 - y and y = x - 8
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

x = 9 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

x = 10 - y and y = x - 8 is given

then, name the equation

x = 10 - y ...(1)

y = x - 8 ...(2)

Now, put the value of x in equation (2) we get

y = x - 8

y = (10 - y) - 8

y = 10 - y - 8

y + y = 10 - 8

2y = 2

y = 2÷2

y = 1

Here, we get the value of y = 1

Now, we put the value of y in equation (1) we get

x = 10 - y

x = 10 - (1)

x = 10 - 1

x = 9

<h3><em><u>VERIFICATION</u></em><em><u>:</u></em></h3>

x = 10 - y

9 = 10 - 1

9 = 9

Hence, LHS = RHS
