$\"5%28k-2%29-8k=-34\"$
\n" ); document.write( "first times the 5 by k and -2 =(5k-10)
\n" ); document.write( "So now your problem should look like this: $\"%285k-10%29-8k=-34\"$
\n" ); document.write( "add your like terms together 5k-8k=3k
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3k-10=-34\"$ add ten to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3k=-24\"$ divide by -3 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "k=8
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
