-5k-19=5-13k Start with the given equation



-5k=5-13k%2B19Add 19 to both sides


-5k%2B13k=5%2B19 Add 13k to both sides


8k=5%2B19 Combine like terms on the left side


8k=24 Combine like terms on the right side


k=%2824%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate k



k=3 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is k=3
