-18-6k=6%281%2B3k%29 Start with the given equation.


-18-6k=6%2B18k Distribute.


-6k=6%2B18k%2B18 Add 18 to both sides.


-6k-18k=6%2B18 Subtract 18k from both sides.


-24k=6%2B18 Combine like terms on the left side.


-24k=24 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%2824%29%2F%28-24%29 Divide both sides by -24 to isolate k.


k=-1 Reduce.
