Answer 2

Answer:

K=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2k + 5 = 17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 2k = 17

Solving

5 + 2k = 17

Solving for variable 'k'.

Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 2k = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 2k = 17 + -5

2k = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 17 + -5 = 12

2k = 12

Divide each side by '2'.

k = 6

Simplifying

k = 6
