Which order of steps correctly solves the following equation for k?

 24−k=1624-k=16  

a)

Add 24 to both sides, then divide both sides by -1.

b)

Add 24 to both sides, then add 1 to both sides.

c)

Subtract 24 from both sides, then divide both sides by -1.

d)

Subtract 24 from both sides, then add 1 to both sides.

5.

Is this equation always, sometimes, or never true? Why?  −6x+5=−6x−9-6x+5=-6x-9  

a)

always because -6x is on both sides of the equation

b)

sometimes bc both sides of the equation have -6x but  5≠−95\ne-9  

c)

never bc both sides of the equation have -6x but  5\ne-9
