Addition to cancel −25: To solve for k, we need to isolate k on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 25 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the −25 on the left side.−25+k+25=21+25
Simplify by addition: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by performing the addition. k=21+25k=46
Substitute k back: We have found the value of k. To ensure there is no math error, we can substitute k back into the original equation to check if it satisfies the equation.−25+46=2121=21This is true, so there is no math error.
