If you distribute -4 through (5k-7), it equals -20k + 28. Then put on the other -2k on that side of the equals sign and you should have -22k + 28 = -2(9k+5) Then you need to distribute -2 through (9k+5) which equals -18k - 10. You then should have -22k+28=-18k-10. Add 22k to both sides to cancel it out, then you should have 28=4k-10. Add 10 to both sides to get the 4k by itself, which will be 38=4k, then divide both sides by 4 to get k by itself. 38/4 = 19/2. k = 19/2

<span>Solve 2x^2-12x+20=0:
Simplify this by dividing each term by 2: x^2 - 6x + 10 = 0
Identify a, b and c: a=1, b=-6 and c=10. Then b^2=36.
Write out the solutions using the quadratic formula:
6 plus or minus sqrt(36-40)
x = ---------------------------------------

sqrt(36-40) = sqrt(-4) = plus or minus i2
Then:
6 plus or minus i2
x = --------------------------- (answer)

Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 9 * 81^x
When x = -1/2,
f(-1/2) = 9 * 81^(-1/2) = 9 * (1/9) = 1.
