<u>Answer:</u>
<em>k = -17 + 4x</em>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<em>Simplifying</em>
<em>4x + -1k = 17</em>
<em>Reorder the terms:</em>
<em>-1k + 4x = 17</em>
<em>Solving</em>
<em>-1k + 4x = 17</em>
<em>Solving for variable 'k'.</em>
<em>Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.</em>
<em>Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.</em>
<em>-1k + 4x + -4x = 17 + -4x</em>
<em>Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0</em>
<em>-1k + 0 = 17 + -4x</em>
<em>-1k = 17 + -4x</em>
<em>Divide each side by '-1'.</em>
<em>k = -17 + 4x</em>
