8=k*(-2) -6

To solve the equation \( 8 = k \cdot (-2) - 6 \), follow these steps: 1. **Add 6 to both sides** to isolate the term with \( k \): \[ 8 + 6 = k \cdot (-2) \] \[ 14 = k \cdot (-2) \] 2. **Divide both sides by -2** to solve for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{14}{-2} \] \[ k = -7 \] So, the solution is \( k = -7 \).
