1. **Problem 14:** Find which algebraic expression is equivalent.
Given expressions:
A) $32k + 5 - 2k + 1$
B) $6 + 24k - 6k$
2. **Simplify expression A:**
Combine like terms:
$$32k - 2k + 5 + 1 = (32k - 2k) + (5 + 1) = 30k + 6$$
3. **Simplify expression B:**
Combine like terms:
$$6 + 24k - 6k = 6 + (24k - 6k) = 6 + 18k$$
4. **Compare simplified expressions:**
Expression A is $30k + 6$
Expression B is $18k + 6$
They are not equivalent because the coefficients of $k$ differ.

5. **Problem 15:** Find the value of $x$ from the set ${20, 21, 22, 23}$ that satisfies $6x = 132$.
6. **Solve the equation:**
$$6x = 132$$
Divide both sides by 6:
$$\cancel{6}x = \cancel{6} \times 22$$
$$x = 22$$
7. **Check if $x=22$ is in the set:**
Yes, 22 is in the set ${20, 21, 22, 23}$.
8. **Solve for $x$ in the equation $\frac{x}{6.5} = 3$:**
Multiply both sides by 6.5:
$$\cancel{\frac{x}{\cancel{6.5}}} \times \cancel{6.5} = 3 \times 6.5$$
$$x = 19.5$$
**Final answers:**
- Expression equivalent to A is $30k + 6$.
- Value of $x$ from the set that satisfies $6x=132$ is $22$.
- Solution to $\frac{x}{6.5} = 3$ is $x=19.5$.
