Question

Solve −4 = −(−k − 86)+10

Answer 1

The first step -4=k-86-10 second- k-76=-4 third step 76-4= 72 substitute 72 in for k  72-76= -4 this is true

Answer 2

K= 100
 
You use distributive property 

Step 1: −(−k)−1(−86)+10=−4

Step 2: k−1(−86)+10=−4

Step 3: k+86+10=−4

Step 4: k+96=−4

Step 5:  k=−96−4

Step 6:  Subtract 4 from −96 to get −100.
