Answer: k = -5
explanation-
distribute: -3k + -21 - 5k + 4= 23
combine: -8k -17 = 23
add 17 to both sides: -8k = 40
divide both sides by -8: k=-5
Answer:
The answer is the second one
Answer:
m=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-88=-3(4m+5)-(1-3m)
-88=-12m-15-(1-3m) <- Distributive Property
-88=-12m-15-1+3m <- Open () if there is a negative negative the symbol equals positive
-88=-9m-16 <- Simplify
0=-9m+72 <- Add 88 to both sides
9m = 72 <- Add 9m to both sides
9m = 72
/9 /9
m=8
