Step-by-step explanation:
k-1)x + 3y = 7 or
(k-1)x + 3y -7 =0 ..(1)
(k+1)x+6y = (5k-1) or
(k+1)x+6y-(5k+1) =0 .....(2)
Such that ,
a1 = (k-1) , b1 = 3 , c1 = -7 and
a2 = (k+1) , b2 = 6 , c2 = -(5k+1)
For no solution ,
a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
=> (k-1)/(k+1) = 3/6 = 7/(5k+1)
take ,
(k-1)/(k+1) = 3/6
=> (k-1)/(k+1) = 1/2
=> 2(k-1) = k+1
=> 2k - 2 = k+1
=> [k = 3]
Hence , value of k is 3
