Question

Put the steps in order to solve the equation 7(3k - 2) - 13k = 82.
NOTE: Start with the original equation and end with the final result k = _.

= Distributive Property: 21k - 14 - 13k = 82
= Original Equation: 7(3k - 2) - 13k = 82
= Final Result: k = 12
= Division Property of Equality: 8k/8 = 96/8
= Addition Property of Equality: 8k - 14 + 14 = 82 + 14
= Combine Like Terms: 8k - 14 = 82
= Simplify: 8k = 96
