Full solution

Q. Solve for kk.\newline3k=6-3|k| = -6\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinek=k = _____ or k=k = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value term: Isolate the absolute value term.\newlineTo find the value of k|k|, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3-3.\newline3k/3=6/3-3|k| / -3 = -6 / -3\newlinek=2|k| = 2
  2. Solve for kk: Solve for kk.\newlineThe absolute value equation k=2|k| = 2 means that kk can be either 22 or 2-2 because the absolute value of both 22 and 2-2 is 22.\newlineSo, k=2k = 2 or kk00.
