Part A: subtract 6 from both sides
Divide by -3 on both sides
X=-3
Part B: add like terms (-2K-3k)
Add 12 to both sides
Add 5k to both sides
Divide by 5 on both sides
K=3
Part C: distribute 6 into the parentheses
Add like terms together (36-5)
Subtract 1 from both sides
Subtract 36v from both sides
Divide by -30 on both sides
-1=v
