<h3>
1.) <u>
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side:</u></h3>
<em>- This is an optional step. I prefer the numbers to be on the left hand side, but it's not necessary. </em>
<u>Equation at the end of Step 1:</u>
<h3>2.)
<u>Add 2 to both sides:</u></h3>
- Cancels Out
- <em>When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.</em>
<em> - In this case, we have a -2. So to get rid of -2 we do the opposite: +2 on each side. </em>
<u>Equation at the end of Step 2:</u>
<h3>3.) <u>Divide both sides by 5:</u></h3>
- ÷
- ÷
- <em>When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.</em>
<em> - In this case, we have 5 being multiplied by k. So to get rid of the 5 we do the opposite: Divide by 5 on each side. </em>
