Question 557521
{{{5-(3k+44)=-6+11(5k-7)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5-3k-44=-6+55k-77}}} Distribute.



{{{-3k-39=-6+55k-77}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3k-39=55k-83}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-3k=55k-83+39}}} Add {{{39}}} to both sides.



{{{-3k-55k=-83+39}}} Subtract {{{55k}}} from both sides.



{{{-58k=-83+39}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-58k=-44}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{k=(-44)/(-58)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-58}}} to isolate {{{k}}}.



{{{k=22/29}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{k=22/29}}}
