Question

9 – 2k = 25 what is k

Answer 1

Answer:

k = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides to get the constants on one side and the variables on the other

9 - 2k = 25

- 2k = 25 - 9

Simplify

- 2k = 16

Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate the variable, then simplify once more.

- 2k/ -2 = 16/ -2

k = 16/ -2

k = -8

Answer 2

Answer:

      k = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

9 – 2k = 25

   - 2k  = 25 - 9

    -2k = 16

         k = 16 / -2

         k = -8
