Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

k=3
k=3

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

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

                     -12-(3-2*k-3*k)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -15 + 5k  =   5 • (k - 3) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    5   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    k-3 = 0 

 
Add  3  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     k = 3

One solution was found :

                   k = 3
