Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: $\boxed{k = -7}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$-30=5k+5$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$5k+5=-30$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$5k=-30-5$

Subtract 5 from −30 to get −35.

$5k=-35$

Divide both sides by 5.

$k=\frac{-35}{5}$

Divide −35 by 5 to get, you guessed it, -7!

You can also do "5(-7) + 5 = ??" For proof.
