Question

If x = 5 is a solution to the equation 3 - 2(k + x) = kx, what is the value of k?

Answer 1

so, 3- 2(k+5) = Kx

3-10-2k=5k

-7=7k

k= -1

pls mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 2(k + x) = kx

given that x = 5,

3 - 2(k + 5) = 5k

3 - 2k - 10 = 5k

-7 - 2k = 5k

-7 = 5k + 2k

-7 = 7k

-7/7 = k

-1 = k
