-316=8%287k-2%29%2B4k Start with the given equation.


-316=56k-16%2B4k Distribute.


-316=60k-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=60k-16%2B316 Add 316 to both sides.


-60k=-16%2B316 Subtract 60k from both sides.


-60k=300 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%28300%29%2F%28-60%29 Divide both sides by -60 to isolate k.


k=-5 Reduce.
