Solving Equations Errors and Steps

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

Find the Error
What error did the student make when solving the equation:
1/5x + 6 = 3/5x + 5
1x + 6 = 3x + 5
-2x + 6 = 5
-2x = -1
x = 1/2

• The student found an incorrect common denominator
• The student did not multiply all terms by the common denominator
• The student did not use opposite operations appropriately
• The student did not correctly eliminate the variable from one side of the equation
