Solve for k.

3x-5 = 6x^2-5x+k

I'll let you work out the math.

Let's solve for k.

3x-5=6x^2-5x+k

Step 1: Flip the equation.

6x^2+k-5x=3x-5

Step 2: Add - 6x^2 to both sides.

6x^2+k-5x+-6x^2=3x-5+-6x^2

k-5x=-6x^2+3x-5

Step 3: Add 5x to both sides.

k-5x+5x=-6x^2+3x-5+5x

So, the answer is k=-6x^2+8x-5.
