5-%283k%2B44%29=-6%2B11%285k-7%29 Start with the given equation.


5-3k-44=-6%2B55k-77 Distribute.


-3k-39=-6%2B55k-77 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3k-39=55k-83 Combine like terms on the right side.


-3k=55k-83%2B39 Add 39 to both sides.


-3k-55k=-83%2B39 Subtract 55k from both sides.


-58k=-83%2B39 Combine like terms on the left side.


-58k=-44 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%28-44%29%2F%28-58%29 Divide both sides by -58 to isolate k.


k=22%2F29 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is k=22%2F29
