$k = 55$

Just collect like terms and you're good to go..

$k - 25 = 30$

$k = 30 + 25$

$k = 55$

or..

Using Distributive method..

$k - 25 = 30$

Since our major aim is to get the value of $k$ ..

Add $color(red)(25)$ to both sides..

$k - 25 + color(red)(25) = 30 + color(red)(25)$

$k cancel(- 25 + 25) = 30 + 25$

$k + 0 = 30 + 25$

$k = 30 + 25$

$k = 55$
