  k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given value of x in the equation, and solve the resulting equation for k.

  2(5 -3) +k(1 +2·5) = k - 5 - 1

  2(2) +k(11) = k -6 . . . . simplify a bit

  10k = -10 . . . . . . . . . . add -4-k to both sides

  k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The value of k is -1.

Check

Use k = -1 in the original equation and solve for x.

  2(x -3) -(1 +2x) = -1 -x -1

  2x -6 -1 -2x = -x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x = 7 -2 = 5 . . . . . . add x+7; answer checks OK

where is the rest of the
