Solving
-9.6 + 2k = 5.95 + -0.7k

Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Add '0.7k' to each side of the equation.
-9.6 + 2k + 0.7k = 5.95 + -0.7k + 0.7k

Combine like terms: 2k + 0.7k = 2.7k
-9.6 + 2.7k = 5.95 + -0.7k + 0.7k

Combine like terms: -0.7k + 0.7k = 0.0
-9.6 + 2.7k = 5.95 + 0.0
-9.6 + 2.7k = 5.95

Add '9.6' to each side of the equation.
-9.6 + 9.6 + 2.7k = 5.95 + 9.6

Combine like terms: -9.6 + 9.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.7k = 5.95 + 9.6
2.7k = 5.95 + 9.6

Combine like terms: 5.95 + 9.6 = 15.55
2.7k = 15.55

Divide each side by '2.7'.
k = 5.759259259

Simplifying
k = 5.759259259
