To solve the equation -2k = 13, we need to isolate k.
Divide both sides of the equation by -2:
(-2k) / -2 = 13 / -2
This simplifies to:
k = -6.5
So, the solution to the equation -2k = 13 is k = -6.5.
Now, let's solve the equation k + m = 8 for m.
Since we know that k = -6.5, we can substitute this value into the equation:
-6.5 + m = 8
Add 6.5 to both sides of the equation:
-6.5 + 6.5 + m = 8 + 6.5
This simplifies to:
m = 14.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation k + m = 8 is m = 14.5.
