| ( | - | 3 | + | k | ) | × | 2 | = | ( | 2 | k | + | 4 | ) | × | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 | × | 2 | + | k | × | 2 |
| = | - | 6 | + | k | × | 2 |
| - | 6 | + | 2 | k | = | ( | 2 | k | + | 4 | ) | × | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | k | × | 4 | + | 4 | × | 4 |
| = | 8 | k | + | 16 |
| - | 6 | + | 2 | k | = | 8 | k | + | 16 |
| 2 | k | − | 8 | k | = | 16 | + | 6 |
| - | 6 | k | = | 16 | + | 6 |
| - | 6 | k | = | 22 |
| - | 22 | = | 6 | k |
| 6 | k | = | - | 22 |
| k | = | - | 22 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | - | 22 | × | 1 6 |
| = | - | 11 | × | 1 3 |
| k | = | - | 11 3 |
