First let's subtract 11 from both sides $\"11-k%2F2-11=60-11\"$ , which simplifies to $\"-k%2F2=49\"$ . Now let's multiply both sides by -2: $\"-k%2F2%2A%28-2%29=49%2A%28-2%29\"$ which simplifies to $\"k=-98\"$ . To check our answer, we substitute it into our original equation thusly: $\"11-%28-98%29%2F2=60\"$ . We simplify that to $\"11-%28-49%29=60\"$ and even further to $\"11%2B49=60\"$ . We finally get 60=60, which is a true statement, and that means our answer of $\"k=-98\"$ is valid. \n" ); document.write( "
