Question

How do you solve `-3( k + 2) = 2- 3k`?

Answer 1

You can't, because at the end, both sides are different.

There is no solution.

Explanation:

First thing to do is to expand the left side... so:

`-3k+(-3*2)=2-3k`

`" "-3k-6=2-3k" "` Add `3k+6` to both sides.

`-3k-6+3k+6=2-3k+3k+6`

`0=8`

This equation makes you end up with unequal sides, and there is no variable so you cannot solve this.
