Put the steps in the correct order to solve this multistep equation.



  1. Use distribution to multiply (5k-3) by 2 to get 3k+10k-6=7
  2. undo multiplying by 13 by dividing by both sides of the equation by 13 to get k = 1
  3. Simplify like terms to get the equation 13k - 6 = 7
  4. Check the solution by evaluating the original expression 3k+2(5k-3) to verify that it equals 7
  5. undo subtract 6 by adding 6 to both sides of the equations to get 13k = 13
  6. The solution is k = 1
