17 = 5 k - 2 k=?
I'm really in a hurry to figure out what K is, and if anyone really wants to do it, please tell me how to do it. Thank you.

 - This is an optional step. I prefer the numbers to be on the left hand side, but it's not necessary.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

 - When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.

 - In this case, we have a -2. So to get rid of -2 we do the opposite: +2 on each side.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

 - When solving problems like this, to get k alone you have to do the opposite of what you see.

 - In this case, we have 5 being multiplied by k. So to get rid of the 5 we do the opposite: Divide by 5 on each side.

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-5) = 2/3(x -0)

y + 5 = 2/3x

y = 2/3x - 5

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
