#k = -9/11#

Explanation:

#4k - 27 = 15k - 18#

#4k - 15k = -18 + 27#

#-11k = 9#

#k = -9/11#

First, bring all like terms onto the same side, so bring the #x# terms onto the left and the numbers by themselves onto the right. Then simplify. Then you need to get #k# on its own on the left so you divide both sides by #-11#.

Therefore,

#k = -9/11#
