Solve for K: 40 + K = 56

K=

k=16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can isolate k.

40+k=56.

We can do this by subracting 40 from both sides.

40+k-40=k

56-40=16

k=16

Steps for solving:

First isolate or get k by itself by subtracting 40 from both sides.

That leaves us with k = 16.

To check our answer, substitute 16 back into the equation.

So we have 40 + (16) = 56 or 56 = 56.
