Answer:

48.

Step-by-step explanation:

33 + 15 = 48.

You can check your answer by subtracting 48-15, which gives you 33.

Write an equation to represent the following statement.

[tex]33[/tex] is [tex]15[/tex] less than [tex]k[/tex].

[tex]33=k-15[/tex]

Solve for [tex]k[/tex].

[tex]k=[/tex] 48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, make the statement into an equation:

33 is 15 less than k.

"is" usually means "equal to"

"less than" means "subtraction, or minus"

So, to change it, we can make it like this:

33 equals 15 subtracted from k

Now, just make it into an equation:

33 equals 15 subtracted from k ⇒ [tex]33 = k-15[/tex]

(since we are subtracting 15 from whatever k is, we put k first.

Your equation is [tex]33=k-15[/tex]

Now, solve.

To solve, we are going to reverse it, and instead of subtracting 15 from k, we are going to add 15 to 33.

So, our equation will look like this:

[tex]33+15=k[/tex]

Now, just add 33 and 15 to find k.

[tex]33+15=48[/tex]

[tex]k=48[/tex]
