$k = 2$ $k=2$

Explanation:

Open up the brackets and then make $k$ $k$ the subject of the equation:

$2 (k + 5) + 3 = 17$ $2(k+5)+3=17$
$2 k + 10 + 3 = 17$ $2k+10+3=17$ ----> opening the bracket
$2 k + 13 = 17$ $2k+13=17$
$2 k = 17 - 13$ $2k=17-13$
$2 k = 4$ $2k=4$
$k = \frac{4}{2}$ $k=4/2$
$k = 2$ $k=2$
