\underline{\textbf{Given:}}

\mathsf{(k-5)x^2+2(k-5)x+2=0\;has\;equal\;roots}

\underline{\textbf{To find:}}

\textsf{The value of k}

\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}

\mathsf{Since\;the\;roots\;of\;(k-5)x^2+2(k-5)x+2=0\;are\;equal,}

\mathsf{we\;have\;b^2-4ac=0}

\implies\mathsf{(2(k-5))^2-4{\times}(k-5){\times}2=0}

\implies\mathsf{4(k-5)^2-8(k-5)=0}

\implies\mathsf{(k-5)^2-2(k-5)=0}

\implies\mathsf{k^2+25-10k-2k+10=0}

\implies\mathsf{k^2-12k+35=0}

\implies\mathsf{(k-5)(k-7)=0}

\implies\boxed{\mathsf{k=5\;\;(or)\;\;7}}
