Solving Equations - (year 8 homework)

Here is your worksheet on solving equations (2 step & multi-step). 
Make sure you work through it methodically (e.g. moving numbers to right first, then letters to left)
Example:
          9k + 5 = 6k + 11
               - 5           - 5
          9k       =  6k + 6
           -6k         -6k
          3k       =   6 
           /3             /3
            k       =   2

remember to check you answer in the original equation at the end.
