Question

1/2(10k - 16) + 11 = -2 solve for k and show your work in rows

Answer 1

Answer:

k= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(10k-16)+11= -2

$(\frac{1}{2} ) (10k)+(\frac{1}{2} )(-16)+11 = -2$

(5k)+(-8+11)= -2

5k+ 3= -2

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

5k+3−3=−2−3

5k=−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

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

k= -1
