w - k in this case would just be -17 - (-5), which would become -17 + 5, with the outcome being -12

How it's evaluated:

(1) w - k = -7 - -5

(2) -17 - -5= = -17 + (-15)

(3) -17 + (-15) = -2

First step is change W and K and change it into it's correct number.

Second step is change the subtraction sign to it's opposite.

Third step is subtract -17 and (-15) which would give you -2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{5}{8}(3k+1)-\dfrac{1}{4}(7k+2)=1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{5}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(3k+1)-8\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(7k+2)=8\cdot1\\\\5(3k+1)-2(7k+2)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(5)(3k)+(5)(1)+(-2)(7k)+(-2)(2)=8\\\\15k+5-14k-4=8\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(15k-14k)+(5-4)=8\\\\k+1=8\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\k=7$
