Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x = 1
-6+3x+4=2-4x+3
-8+7x+1=0
7x=7
x=1
Then it would get bigger, thats what makes sense... are there answer choices?
Answer:
k=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
−3(k+7)−5k+4=23
(−3)(k)+(−3)(7)+−5k+4=23(Distribute)
−3k+−21+−5k+4=23
(−3k+−5k)+(−21+4)=23(Combine Like Terms)
−8k+−17=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
k=−5
Answer:
k=−5
