Answer:
k = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given value of x in the equation, and solve the resulting equation for k.
2(5 -3) +k(1 +2·5) = k - 5 - 1
2(2) +k(11) = k -6 . . . . simplify a bit
10k = -10 . . . . . . . . . . add -4-k to both sides
k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
The value of k is -1.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Use k = -1 in the original equation and solve for x.
2(x -3) -(1 +2x) = -1 -x -1
2x -6 -1 -2x = -x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 7 -2 = 5 . . . . . . add x+7; answer checks OK
