Answer: k = -5

explanation-

distribute: -3k + -21 - 5k + 4= 23

combine: -8k -17 = 23

add 17 to both sides: -8k = 40

divide both sides by -8: k=-5

35 points!! Only comment if you really know the answer please.
hodyreva [135]
Y = 3x - 1 ---- (1)
x - y = -9  ---- (2)

From Equation 2:
x - y = - 9
x + 9 = y 
y = x + 9 --- (2a)

(1) - (2a):
0 = 3x - x - 1 - 9
0 = 2x - 10
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5 ---- sub into (1)

y = 3(5) - 1 
y = 15 - 1
y = 14
