Identify Given System: Identify the given system of equations and the unknown variable to solve for.We are given the system of equations:17=(−14)+kk=□We need to solve for the value of k.
Isolate Variable k: Isolate the variable k in the first equation.To find the value of k, we need to isolate k on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 14 to both sides of the first equation.17=(−14)+k17+14=(−14)+14+k31=k
Write Value of k: Write the value of k in the second equation.Now that we have found that k=31, we can fill in the blank in the second equation.k=31
