Please help me solve this equation and show the work show me how you got the answer

Answer 1

Answer: k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for k, you want to isolate k.

$\frac{2}{5} (5k+35)-8=12$            [add both sides by 8]

$\frac{2}{5} (5k+35)=20$                  [multiply both sides by 5/2]

$5k+35=50$                       [subtract both sides by 35]

$5k=15$                               [divide both sides by 5]

$k=3$

Now, we know that k=3.
