Isolate variable k: We need to isolate the variable k on one side of the equation to find its value. We start by adding 25 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the −25 on the left side.−25+k+25=21+25
Perform addition and simplify: After performing the addition, we simplify both sides of the equation.k=21+25k=46
Check math for errors: We check our math to ensure there are no errors. We substitute k=46 back into the original equation to see if it holds true.−25+46=2121=21This is a true statement, so there are no math errors.
