Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

So you replace each letter with it's numerical value.

Note that in arithmetics the sign is critical so observe it.

For this equation, if you solve for k by replacing the known variables with their actual value you get this:

3(3)-2(-1)=k

As stated earlier, the signs are important. When you multiply a negative number with another negative number the sign becomes positive (+).

For this case, -2*-1=+2 and 3*3=9

So, k=2+9

k is therefore 11
