I need help with multi step equations if anybody that would be great

Sagot :

We have the following equation:

[tex]28=-k+16-2k-9[/tex]

They ask us to solve this equation, in this case, we must solve for "k"

Now, we clear k

[tex]\begin{gathered} 28=-k+16-2k-9 \\ 28=-3k+7 \\ 3k=-28+7 \\ 3k=-21 \\ k=-\frac{21}{3} \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Compared with your solution, this is also correct, let's see the last step in which you are

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3k=21 \\ k=\frac{21}{-3} \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Your solution to this equation is correct in each step you did, you just need to move on to divide the (-3) to the other side

In conclusion, the answer si k = -7
