To solve the equation \( 7 + 2k^2 = 25 \), we first isolate the term with \( k^2 \):
-
Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[ 2k^2 = 25 - 7 \]
\[ 2k^2 = 18 \]
-
Divide both sides by 2:
\[ k^2 = \frac{18}{2} \]
\[ k^2 = 9 \]
-
Take the square root of both sides:
\[ k = \pm 3 \]
Thus, the solution set for the value of \( k \) is
\[ { -3, 3 } \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
\({ -3, 3 }\)
