-11-%283k-44%29=-6%2B11%285k-7%29 Start with the given equation.


-11-3k%2B44=-6%2B55k-77 Distribute.


-3k%2B33=-6%2B55k-77 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3k%2B33=55k-83 Combine like terms on the right side.


-3k=55k-83-33 Subtract 33 from both sides.


-3k-55k=-83-33 Subtract 55k from both sides.


-58k=-83-33 Combine like terms on the left side.


-58k=-116 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%28-116%29%2F%28-58%29 Divide both sides by -58 to isolate k.


k=2 Reduce.
