-20 = -11 + k/2

1 answer

To find the value of k, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

We can start by moving the -11 to the right side by adding 11 to both sides:

-20 + 11 = k/2

Simplifying on the left side gives us:

-9 = k/2

To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides by 2:

-9 * 2 = k/2 * 2

Simplifying gives us:

-18 = k
