-8%28k-4%29=8%281-2k%29 Start with the given equation.


-8k%2B32=8-16k Distribute.


-8k=8-16k-32 Subtract 32 from both sides.


-8k%2B16k=8-32 Add 16k to both sides.


8k=8-32 Combine like terms on the left side.


8k=-24 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%28-24%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate k.


k=-3 Reduce.
