Question

Solve each equation for k. 4k + h = -2k - 14

Answer 1

4k + h = -2k - 14

• Since we're solving for k, move all terms with k to the left side and all other terms to the right side of the equation.

• Add 2k to both sides.

6k + h = -14

• Subtract h from both sides.

6k = -14 - h

• Divide both sides by 6.

k = -14/6 - h/6

• Simplify -14/6 by dividing by 2/2.

• -14/6 becomes -7/3, so your answer is:

k = -7/3 - h/6

Answer 2

4k +h =-2k-14

4k+ 2k=-h-14

6k=-h-14

k=$\frac{-h-14}{6}$
