Solve.
-254 = -10k - 2 - 8k

-254 = -10k -2 -8k

or, -254+2 = -18k

or, -252 = -18k

or, k = -252/-18 = 14

Answer is 14.

k = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine like terms: -254 = -18k - 2

Next use Addition Property of Equality (add 2 to both sides to cancel the 2 on the right side of the equation) : -252 = -18k

Last, use Division Property of Equality (divide both sides by -18 to get k by itself): 14 = k

*when solving an equation like this, you are always trying to get k by itself, and whatever you do to one side, do it to the other to keep them equal

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
