8%284k-4%29=-5k-32 Start with the given equation.


32k-32=-5k-32 Distribute.


32k=-5k-32%2B32 Add 32 to both sides.


32k%2B5k=-32%2B32 Add 5k to both sides.


37k=-32%2B32 Combine like terms on the left side.


37k=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%280%29%2F%2837%29 Divide both sides by 37 to isolate k.


k=0 Reduce.
