Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the value of kk that makes the equation 13+k=2513 + k = 25 true.
Basically, what number do we add to 13 to get 25? Watch out! Don't accidentally subtract 25 from 13.
We want to *isolate* kk, and that means getting it all alone on one side of the equals sign.

STEP 2

1. Isolate kk
2. Calculate kk

STEP 3

We want to get kk by itself.
Since 13 is being *added* to kk, we'll do the *opposite* operation to both sides of the equation.
The opposite of adding 13 is subtracting 13.
Think of it this way: we're adding -13 to both sides, and 13+(13)=013 + (-13) = 0.
We're adding to zero!
13+k13=251313 + k - 13 = 25 - 13

STEP 4

Now, on the left side, 131313 - 13 gives us **zero**, so we have 0+k0 + k, which is just kk.
Awesome! On the right side, 251325 - 13 gives us **12**.
k=12k = 12

STEP 5

We already found it in the last step!
Since we isolated kk, we see that k=12k = 12.
Let's **check** our work to be extra sure.

STEP 6

If k=12k = 12, then the original equation 13+k=2513 + k = 25 becomes 13+12=2513 + 12 = 25.
Is that true?
YES!

STEP 7

k=12k = 12
