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?
I was talking to someone in Chat, and they mentioned that K would basically be like negating X.

I think. I'm also tired.
