Identify Goal: Identify the goal of the problem.We need to find the value of k in the equation −25+k=21. To do this, we will isolate k on one side of the equation.
Add 25: Add 25 to both sides of the equation to isolate k.−25+k+25=21+25This simplifies to:k=46
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of k back into the original equation.−25+46 should equal 21.21=21This is true, so our solution for k is correct.
