Exercise 27 Page 256

Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to eliminate the addition.

k=12

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate k on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 6 from both sides of the equation. This will eliminate the addition and isolate k.

k+6=18
SubEqn

LHS-6=RHS-6

k+6-6=18-6
SubTerm

Subtract term

k=12

To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute k=12 into the original equation and simplify.

k+6=18
Substitute

k= 12

12 + 6 ? = 18
AddTerms

Add terms

18=18 ✓

Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, k=12 is the correct solution.
