Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + -1) equal to 1.732050808 and -1.732050808.

Subproblem 1
k + -1 = 1.732050808

Simplifying
k + -1 = 1.732050808

Reorder the terms:
-1 + k = 1.732050808

Solving
-1 + k = 1.732050808

Solving for variable 'k'.

Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + k = 1.732050808 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + k = 1.732050808 + 1
k = 1.732050808 + 1

Combine like terms: 1.732050808 + 1 = 2.732050808
k = 2.732050808

Simplifying
k = 2.732050808

Subproblem 2
k + -1 = -1.732050808

Simplifying
k + -1 = -1.732050808

Reorder the terms:
-1 + k = -1.732050808

Solving
-1 + k = -1.732050808

Solving for variable 'k'.

Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + k = -1.732050808 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + k = -1.732050808 + 1
k = -1.732050808 + 1

Combine like terms: -1.732050808 + 1 = -0.732050808
k = -0.732050808

Simplifying
k = -0.732050808

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
k = {2.732050808, -0.732050808}
Solution
k = {2.732050808, -0.732050808}
