Answer:
K = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
k−9=5(k−3)
k+−9=(5)(k)+(5)(−3)(Distribute)
k+−9=5k+−15
k−9=5k−15
Step 2: Subtract 5k from both sides.
k−9−5k=5k−15−5k
−4k−9=−15
Step 3: Add 9 to both sides.
−4k−9+9=−15+9
−4k=−6
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
-4k/-4 = -6/-4
K = 3/2
Answer:
A. 0
B. -66
C. 4
D. 998
E. -12
Step-by-step explanation:
A. By definition, the sum of anything and its additive inverse is zero.

B. If you have trouble with sums, your calculator can help.
-22 + (-44) = -22 -44 = -66

C. -36/x = -9 can be solved by multiplying by x and dividing by -9:
-36 = -9x
-36/-9 = x = 4
Since the product of the divisor and quotient is the dividend, dividing the dividend by either gives the other. Here, your dividend is -36 and your quotient is -9. To find the divisor, you can divide -36 by -9, as we did.

D. The absolute value function changes the sign of negative numbers to positive:
|-998| = 998
__
E. If you have trouble with sums, your calculator can help.
(−2)−[(−3)−(−7)−(−6)]
= -2 -(-3 +7 +6) = -2 -10 = -12
You have to isolate the (a) so you multiply the 2/3 by 3/2 and you have to do that to the right side. So -24 times 3/2 equals to -36. Therefore, a=-36.
