-6k+-11=2k-23
First, group the k variables on one side together.
-6k - 11 - 2k + 11 = -23 + 11
to get
-6k - 2k = -12
combine like terms
-8k = -12
divide both sides by -8, since division is the inverse of multiplication it will isolate the k variable.
-8k%2F-8+=+-12%2F-8
yielding
highlight_green%28k+=+12%2F8+=+3%2F2%29
