Question

$$- 2 k = k - 7 - 8$$

Solve for k

$k=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $8$ from $-7$ to get $-15$.

$$-2k=k-15$$

Subtract $k$ from both sides.

$$-2k-k=-15$$

Combine $-2k$ and $-k$ to get $-3k$.

$$-3k=-15$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$k=\frac{-15}{-3}$$

Divide $-15$ by $-3$ to get $5$.

$$k=5$$
