Question

just found that 6k = 18. this is what is shown on the hanger diagram. now keep going. record what you need to divide both sides by in order to have k remaining on the left.
22 = 6k + 4

• 4 - 4

overline{18 = 6k}

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coefficient of k

The equation is $18 = 6k$, coefficient of $k$ is 6.

Step2: Divide both sides by 6

To isolate $k$, divide each side by 6:
$\frac{18}{6} = \frac{6k}{6}$

Answer:

The number to fill in both boxes is 6, and solving gives $k=3$.
