Step 1:
Solution:
Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
k = 5
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2.
k = 20
k = -20
k = -5
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
k = -8
k = -12

Let's solve the equation step by step. The equation as written seems to have a syntax issue, but based on the context, I believe it should be:

\[ k - 2 = -10 \]

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

\[ k - 2 + 2 = -10 + 2 \] \[ k = -8 \]

Solution:

The correct answer is k = -8.

In the context of solving the equation \( k - 2 = -10 \), the first step would be to isolate \( k \).

Step 1:

Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

\[ k - 2 + 2 = -10 + 2 \] \[ k = -8 \]

This is the first step to solving for \( k \). Would you like to proceed further or clarify anything?
