No solutions for $k$ $k$ .

As per the question, we have

$- 139 + 60 k = 5 (12 k + 5)$ $-139 + 60k = 5(12k + 5)$

$:. -139 + 60k = 60k + 25$

$:. 60k - 60k = 25 + 139$

$:. 0 = 164$

But, $0 != 164$

$:.$ This equation has no solution as the sides are not equal.

How do you solve -139+ 60k = 5( 12k + 5)−139+60k=5(12k+5)-139+ 60k = 5( 12k + 5)?
