I hope the latex above works in the title...
If k is a positive integer, compute gcd(7k+14, 3k+6), using the Euclidean Algorithm.
I'm having some difficulty with the treatment of the variable in this context, and would appreciate some help. Thanks

Hint: Just use the form $\gcd(a,b)=\gcd(a-b,b)$.
The Euclidean Algorithm is just an abbreviation of this process.
