Given the equation:

-60 = - 15k 

solve the equation.

Solution:

In order to solve the equation, we simply need to divide both sides by -15 in order to find the value of k. We do not need to transpose the numbers further since they are already on the opposite side of the equation.

-60 = -15k

-15k/-15 = -60/-15

k = 4

Final answer:

k = 4
