Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that function
has the exat shape of function
, and it has just be translated to the right by 3 whole units.
Recall that horizontal translations to the right involve subtracting the number of units moved in the translation from the variable "x". therefore, in our case this means:

2/5/9 solved will be 0.4 repeating as a decimal, & 4/9 as a fraction

First, we combine the terms on the left side of the equation to simplify the equation. Then we divide both sides by -3. k then equals 1/3.
To check, we plug in our value for k into the original equation:

We found k to be 1/3, so for every instance of k, we plug in 1/3. To simplify, we combine the left side to get -1, and we combine the right side to get -1.
Since -1 = -1, our solution is correct.
