Move all of the constants to one side of the equation with algebraic operations.

Explanation:

1) Subtract ‘6’ from both sides. (all operations must be done on both sides to maintain the equality)
12k + 6 – 6 = 10 – 6 ; 12k = 4

2) Divide both sides by ‘12’
12k/12 = 4/12 ; k = 4/12

3) Simplify the final form. k = 4/12
k= 1/3
