I don't want to just answer the question for you... so here are some pointers!

Firstly, think about all those numbers on a number line, centered around 0.

Something like:

-15 -12 -9 0 3 5 8 16 19

For any particular number, what's the value of k that will mean x - k = 0? What do you notice about the values?

Some of those numbers are big, some are small... so what can we do to find one number that represents all of them?

Feel free to email/PM/VM/whatever me if you want. I'll answer as soon as I can.
