for which value of k, 2x+3y=1 and (k-1)x+(2k+1)y=k-1 has no solution.
Answers
Concept:
A two-variable linear equation is one with the formula ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c ∈ R, a, and b not equal to 0. An inconsistent pair of linear equations is a system of linear equations that cannot be solved. By comparing the coefficients of the equations in a system of linear equations, we can determine whether the system of equations has no solution.
Given:
The given set of equations 2x + 3y = 1 and (k - 1)x + (2k + 1)y = k - 1
Find:
We have to find the value of x for no solution system of equations.
Solution:
Let's take the equation as :
2x + 3y = 1 .. (1)
(k - 1)x + (2k + 1)y = k - 1 .. (2)
As we know that if a system has no solution, then
a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
Here, a1 = 2, a2 = k - 1, b1 = 3, b2 = 2k + 1, c1 = 1, c2 = k - 1
So, 2/ (k - 1) = 3/ 2k + 1
2(2k + 1) = 3(k - 1)
4k + 1 = 3k - 3
k = -5
Hence, the value of k is -5.
