6-12k-3=5+10-8k
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 4k+1.
3-12k=5+10-8k
Subtract 3 from 6 to get 3.
3-12k=15-8k
Add 5 and 10 to get 15.
3-12k+8k=15
Add 8k to both sides.
3-4k=15
Combine -12k and 8k to get -4k.
-4k=15-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-4k=12
Subtract 3 from 15 to get 12.
k=\frac{12}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
k=-3
Divide 12 by -4 to get -3.
