Find the error in the problem below
19 - 2k = 3k - 1
     +3k   +3k
19 + 1k = -1
-19           -19
k = -20

• They should have divided by 1 for the last step
• They should add 19 instead of subtracting 19
• I can not find an error
• Instead of adding 3k they should subtract 3k

Solve the equation for n:

-(n - 8) = -2

• n = 6

• n = 10

• n = -10

• n = -6

Describe the solution set:
2(x + 5) = 2x + 5

• one solution
• no solution
• infinitely many solutions
• two solutions

Which of the equations has no solution?

• 2x + 1 = 5x - 3
• 2(x - 7) = 2x-14
• 3(2x+1) = 6x+1
• 15x - 30 = 0
