Question 200243
{{{9k-26=6k-8}}} subtract 6k from both sides
{{{9k-6k - 26 = 6k -8 - 6k }}}  simplify
{{{3k -26 = -8}}}
{{{3k - 26 + 26 = 26 -8}}}  add 26 to both sides
{{{3k = 26-8}}} simplify
{{{3k = 18}}} divide both sides by 3
{{{k = 18/3}}} simplify
{{{k=6}}}

Lots of extra steps shown above, but now you get the idea
