-12x + 4 = 12 - 8x
8x. 8x

-4x + 4 = 12

Step 1: -4(3x-1) becomes -12x+4
step 2: -12x+4=12-8x
step 3: add 12x to both sides, 4=12+4x
step 4: subtract twelve from both sides -8=4x
step 5: divide by 4, x=-2

What is the answer to K/2+1-1k=-2k

Mazyrski [523]

$\dfrac{k}{2}+1-1k=-2k\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}k+1-k=-2k\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2}k-k\right)+1=-2k\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k+1=-2k\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k=-2k-1\qquad\text{add 2k to both sides}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}k=-1\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to improper fraction}\\\\\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}k=-1\\\\\dfrac{3}{2}k=-1\qqua\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\boxed{k=-\dfrac{2}{3}}$
