Question

35) -5(6k + 3) - 8(8-4k) = -73

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• $-5(6k+3)-8(8-4k)=-73$
• $-5(6k) + (-5)(3) + (-8)(8) + (-8)(-4k) = -73$
• $-30k-15-64+32k=-73$
• $(-30k+32k)+(-15-64)=-73$
• $2k-79=-73$

Step 2: Add 79 to both sides.

• $2k - 79 + 79 = -73 + 79$

• $2k = 6$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

• $\frac{2k}2} = \frac{6}{2}$
• $k = 3$
