and it follows that
2<em>k</em> + 8 = 3 ==> 2<em>k</em> = -5 ==> <em>k</em> = -5/2
If you meant the second one, then

which would give
<em>k</em> + 9 = 3 ==> <em>k</em> = -6
And for all I know, you might have meant some other alternative... When you can, you should include a picture of your problem.
Standardized z score for the act result = (30 - 21.5) / 5.4 = 1.574
so for the sat ressult we have 1.574 = (X - 1498) / 316
X = 316 * 1.574 + 1498 = 1995 answer
