What is the value of K in the equation 8 + 2k = 4k + 4

8+2k=4k+4

8-4=4k-2k I placed the like terms on each side.

4=2k Simplify

4/2=k Leave the variable a side

2 = k

Step 1. Subtract 2k from both sides

8 = 4k + 4 - 2k

Step 2. Simplify 4k + 4 - 2k to 2k + 4

8 = 2k + 4

Step 3. Subtract 4 from both sides

8 - 4 = 2k

Step 4. Simplify 8 - 4 to 4

4 = 2k

Step 5. Divide both sides by 2

4/2 = k

Step 6. Simplify 4/2 to 2

2 = k

Step 7. Switch sides

Your answer is k = 2
