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.
