9. Solve the equation: 3(k + 2) - k= 3k -16 (Circle your answer)
K＝-22
k=22
k= infinitely many solutions
k = no solution
To solve the equation 3(k + 2) - k = 3k - 16, we can simplify the equation and solve for k:
Distribute the 3 to both (k + 2):
3k + 6 - k = 3k - 16
Combine like terms:
2k + 6 = 3k - 16
Subtract 2k from both sides:
6 = k - 16
Add 16 to both sides:
22 = k
Therefore, the solution is k = 22.
