Question

Use the drop-down menus to choose steps in order to correctly solve 4k−6=-2k−16−2 for k .

Answer 1

While there is no drop-down menu options for me to choose. I will show you how to solve this.

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-16-2=-18 \ \textgreater \ 4k-6=-2k-18$

$\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 4k-6+6=-2k-18+6 \ \textgreater \ Simplify$

$4k=-2k-12 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Add\:}2k\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 4k+2k=-2k-12+2k$

Simplify again.

$6k=-12 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{6k}{6}=\frac{-12}{6} \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ k=-2$

Hope this helps!
