To solve the equation (2k+38)-26=99, we can start by simplifying the left side of the equation.
First, we can subtract 26 from (2k+38)-26:
(2k+38)-26 - 26 = 99 - 26
Simplifying further, we have:
2k + 12 = 99 - 26
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
2k + 12 - 12 = 99 - 26 - 12
Simplifying further, we have:
2k = 99 - 26 - 12
Now, we can subtract the remaining numbers:
2k = 61
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for k:
2k/2 = 61/2
This gives us:
k = 30.5
So the solution to the equation (2k+38)-26=99 is k = 30.5.
Solve this equation.
(2k+38)-26=99
