Solve for k -7k-4k=8-2k-8k

$- 7 k - 4 k = 8 - 2 k - 8 k$

Subtract $4 k$ from $- 7 k$ .

$- 11 k = 8 - 2 k - 8 k$

Subtract $8 k$ from $- 2 k$ .

$- 11 k = 8 - 10 k$

Move all terms containing $k$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $10 k$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 11 k + 10 k = 8$

Add $- 11 k$ and $10 k$ .

$- k = 8$

Divide each term in $- k = 8$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- k = 8$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- k}{- 1} = \frac{8}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{k}{1} = \frac{8}{- 1}$

Divide $k$ by $1$ .

$k = \frac{8}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $8$ by $- 1$ .

$k = - 8$
