Evaluate
−59k+k
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−59+1)k
Add the numbers
−58k
−58k−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−58k=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−58k=1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
58k=−1
Divide both sides
5858k=58−1
Divide the numbers
k=58−1
Solution
k=−581
