Solve for k k+11=-3k-25+2k

$k + 11 = - 3 k - 25 + 2 k$

Since $k$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

$- 3 k - 25 + 2 k = k + 11$

Add $- 3 k$ and $2 k$ .

$- k - 25 = k + 11$

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

Subtract $k$ from both sides of the equation.

$- k - 25 - k = 11$

Subtract $k$ from $- k$ .

$- 2 k - 25 = 11$

Move all terms not containing $k$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $25$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 2 k = 11 + 25$

Add $11$ and $25$ .

$- 2 k = 36$

Divide each term in $- 2 k = 36$ by $- 2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 2 k = 36$ by $- 2$ .

$\frac{- 2 k}{- 2} = \frac{36}{- 2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 2 k}{- 2} = \frac{36}{- 2}$

Divide $k$ by $1$ .

$k = \frac{36}{- 2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $36$ by $- 2$ .

$k = - 18$
