Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span><span><span>−18</span>−<span>6k</span></span>=<span>6<span>(<span>1+<span>3k</span></span>)
</span></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. <span><span><span>−18</span>−<span>6k</span></span>=<span>6<span>(<span>1+<span>3k</span></span>) </span></span></span><span>Simplify: (Show steps)</span><span><span><span>−<span>6k</span></span>−18</span>=<span><span>18k</span>+6
</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 18k from both sides.<span><span><span><span>−<span>6k</span></span>−18</span>−<span>18k</span></span>=<span><span><span>18k</span>+6</span>−<span>18k</span></span></span><span><span><span>−<span>24k</span></span>−18</span>=6
</span>Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.<span><span><span><span>−<span>24k</span></span>−18</span>+18</span>=<span>6+18</span></span><span><span>−<span>24k</span></span>=24
</span>Step 4: Divide both sides by -24.<span><span><span>−<span>24k</span></span><span>−24</span></span>=<span>24<span>−24</span></span></span><span>k=<span>−1
