Answer:
The first step is to expand it to get rid of brackets .
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step, you have to eliminate brackets by expanding :
[tex]2(3k + 1) = 4k + 32[/tex]
[tex]2(3k) + 2(1) = 4k + 32[/tex]
[tex]6k + 2 = 4k + 32[/tex]
Next you have to collect like terms by making the same variable to one side and lastly, solve it :
[tex]6k - 4k = 32 - 2[/tex]
[tex]2k = 30[/tex]
[tex]k = 30 \div 2[/tex]
[tex]k = 15[/tex]
