Identify circled number: First, let's identify the circled number, which is not given here, but assuming it's the −k since that's what we need to move, we'll proceed with that.
Isolate k: To isolate k, we need to get rid of the −1 that is multiplied by k (since −k is the same as −1*k). To do this, we should add k to both sides of the equation.
Add k to both sides: So, we add k to both sides: 8−k+k=−60+k, which simplifies to 8=−60+k.
Move 8 to other side: Now, to solve for k, we need to move the 8 to the other side by subtracting 8 from both sides: 8−8=−60+k−8, which simplifies to 0=−60+k−8.
Solve for k: After simplifying, we get: k=−60−8, which means k=−68.
