What value of k makes the statement true?

Question

k – 12 = 6 + (–12)

Question 5 options:

–18

6

18

Answer 1

The equation can be simplified to:
k - 12 = -6

To solve for k, we can add 12 to both sides of the equation:
k - 12 + 12 = -6 + 12
k = 6

So, the value of k that makes the statement true is 6. Option 3: 6 is the correct answer.
