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
k+6-6=18-6
k=12
To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute k=12 into the original equation and simplify.
k+6=18
12 + 6 ? = 18
18=18 âś“
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, k=12 is the correct solution.
