2=4%283k-8%29-11k Start with the given equation.


2=12k-32-11k Distribute.


2=k-32 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=k-32-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


-k=-32-2 Subtract k from both sides.


-k=-34 Combine like terms on the right side.


k=%28-34%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate k.


k=34 Reduce.
