Math Problem

Simplifying

8k(4 + -6) + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)

Combine like terms:  4 + -6 = -2

8k(-2) + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

8 * -2k + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)

Multiply 8 * -2

-16k + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)

-16k + -2x = (3 * 16 + -1k * 16)

-16k + -2x = (48 + -16k)

Add '16k' to each side of the equation.

-16k + 16k + -2x = 48 + -16k + 16k

Combine like terms: -16k + 16k = 0

0 + -2x = 48 + -16k + 16k

-2x = 48 + -16k + 16k

Combine like terms: -16k + 16k = 0

-2x = 48 + 0

-2x = 48

Solving

-2x = 48

Solving for variable 'x'

. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -24

Simplifying

x = -24

Good job, Hayley  !!!!

what is K? 8k (4 - 6) - 2k = 16(3 - K) I got 46k=0

Solve for K: -18 k = 16 (3-K) -18 k = 16 (3-K) is equivalent to 16 (3-K) = -18 k: 16 (3-K) = -18 k Divide both sides by 16: 3-K = -(9 k)/8 Subtract 3 from both sides: -K = -3/8 (3 k+8) Multiply both sides by -1: Answer: | | K = 3/8 (3k+8)

CPhill and Hayley: What are you guys solving for? I Know CPhill didn't read the question!

Oh wow. Did I put a "x" in there instead of a "k"??
