Solve k+10x-71=0

$$k + 10 x - 71 = 0$$

Solve for k

$$k=71-10x$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 10x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$k-71=-10x$$

Add 71 to both sides.

$$k=-10x+71$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{71-k}{10}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract k from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$10x-71=-k$$

Add 71 to both sides.

$$10x=-k+71$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$10x=71-k$$

Divide both sides by 10.

$$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{71-k}{10}$$

Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10.

$$x=\frac{71-k}{10}$$
