Answer:
k=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using substitution to find what you're missing, (in this case k) is when you plug each letter into the other equation:
-4k+3=3k+17
So now solve for k:
subtract 3 from both sides...
-4k=3k+14
subtract 3k from both sides to combine with -4k...
-7k=14
divide -7 from both sides...
k=-2
