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=4 ; y=18 ; 18 = a(16) + b(4) + 10 ; 8 = 16a + 4b 

2(5) = (4a+2b)2

Which pairs of angles are alternate interior angles? Select all that apply.
andrezito [222]
<h3>Answers: Choice A and Choice C</h3>

Explanation:

Think of the vertical lines as train tracks (the metal rails).

Stuff between the rails are interior angles.

Angles 3 and 6 are one pair of alternate interior angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal line. The other pair of alternate interior angles are angles 4 and 5.

Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.
