{{{-5+6k=-15}}} Start with the given equation




{{{6k=-15+5}}}Add 5 to both sides



{{{6k=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{k=(-10)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate k




{{{k=-5/3}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{k=-5/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{k=-1.66666666666667}}} in decimal form)
