Subtract 2 from both sides:k+2=15To solve for k, we need to isolate k on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation. k+2−2=15−2
Find the value of k:k=13After subtracting 2 from both sides, we find that k equals 13. This is the value of k that satisfies the equation.
