-6k - 13 = 83 Add 13 to both sides so -6k - 13 + 13 = 83 + 13 -13 and +13 cancel out, -6k is left on the left side of the equal sign 83 + 13 = 96 (on the right of the equal sign, so) -6k = 96 Divide -6 to both sides [tex] \frac{-6k}{-6} = \frac{96}{6} [/tex] -6 cancel on the left, leaving you with k on the left 96 divided by 6 is 16 k = 16
