Isolate variable k: First, we want to isolate the variable k on one side of the equation. To do this, we can start by adding 2 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term from the right side to the left side.2=4k−22+2=4k−2+24=4k
Add 2 to both sides: Now that we have isolated k/4 on one side, we can solve for k by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to cancel out the division by 4 on the right side.4×4=4k×416=k
