Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are solving for x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

2x + 7 (-7) = -11 (-7)

2x = -11 - 7

2x = -18

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (-18)/2

x = -18/2

x = -9

x = -9 is your answer.

2x + 7 = -11

(2x + 7) - 7 = -11 - 7

2x = -18

(2x)/2 = -18/2

x = -9

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(ky-6)=15y-30

Factor out a 5 from the right side

5(ky-6)=5(3y-6)

Divide each side by 5

ky -6 = 3y -6

Add 6 to each side

ky = 3y

divide by y

k = 3
