| ( | k | − | 3 | ) | − | 2 | = | ( | 2 | k | + | 4 | ) | × | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | k | − | 3 | − | 2 |
| = | k | − | 5 |
| k | − | 5 | = | ( | 2 | k | + | 4 | ) | × | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | k | × | 4 | + | 4 | × | 4 |
| = | 8 | k | + | 16 |
| k | − | 5 | = | 8 | k | + | 16 |
| k | − | 8 | k | = | 16 | + | 5 |
| - | 7 | k | = | 16 | + | 5 |
| - | 7 | k | = | 21 |
| - | 21 | = | 7 | k |
| 7 | k | = | - | 21 |
| k | = | - | 21 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | - | 21 | × | 1 7 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 1 |
| k | = | - | 3 |
