Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     8*(10-k)-(2*k)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  8 • (10 - k) -  2k  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   80 - 10k  =   -10 • (k - 8) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -10 • (k - 8)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    -10   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    k-8 = 0 

 Add  8  to both sides of the equation : 
                      k = 8
