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]
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
