2. \( -29=9-6 k-2 k-14 \)

Let's simplify and solve the equation step-by-step! First, combine like terms on the right side: \[ -29 = 9 - 6k - 2k - 14 \] This simplifies to: \[ -29 = 9 - 14 - 8k \] \[ -29 = -5 - 8k \] Next, add 5 to both sides: \[ -29 + 5 = -8k \] \[ -24 = -8k \] Now, divide by -8: \[ k = \frac{-24}{-8} = 3 \] So, the solution to the equation is \( k = 3 \)! Be sure to double-check your work by substituting \( k \) back into the original equation to make sure both sides equal!
