Lets multiply 6 with the bracket (4-k):
6(4 - k) = 6*4 -k*6 =
= 24-6k
Now we have:
18-6k=24-6k
Lets put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change sides, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.
-6k+6k=24-18
0 = 6
That is not true, so the k can take values from all the numbers because in the end it cancels itself.
