I understand the order of operations (please excuse my dear aunt sally. =) How do I separate the variable (k) from -5/9ths? Do I divide both sides by 9? I'm confused, the fraction is throwing me off.

The solution set is (-18/5) I want to understand how to arrive at the solution. At least the first operation.

Divide -5/9 to both sides. That will isolate the k.  So you have: k = 2/(-5/9).  I think you can handle it from here.
