Question

for what value of k will the following pair of linear equation have no solution ; 3 X + y is equal to 1 and took a -1 into X + k - 1 in 2 y is equal to 2 k + 1​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pair of equations are:

3x+y=1...(1)

(2k−1)x+(k−1)y=2k+1..(2)

Now rearranging eq1 and eq2 will get

3x+y−1=0...(3)

(2k−1)x+(k−1)y−(2k+1)=0..(4)

Now compare with

a

=3,b

=1,c

=−1

a

2

=2k−1,b

2

=k−1,c

=−(2k+1)

Now we get

a

=

2k−1

=

k−1

,

c

=

−(2k+1)

−1

Now will take

a

⇒

2k−1

=

k−1

⇒3k−3=2k−1

⇒3k−2k=−1+3

⇒k=2

Hence k=2 is the value.
