Question

IF the equations ( k-3)x + 3y = k and kx + k y =12 have infinite number of solutions find k​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hola‼.....✌

The Given pair of linear equation is :

(k - 3 ) x + 3y = k

kx + ky = 12

We can write these Equations as :

(k - 3 ) x + 3y - k = 0……….(1)

kx + ky - 12 = 0 ………….(2)

On comparing with General form of a pair of linear equations in two variables x & y is:

a1x + b1y + c1 = 0

and a2x + b2y + c2= 0

a1= k-3 , b1= -3, c1= -k

a2= k , b2= k , c2= - 12

a1/a2= k-3 /k , b1/b2= 3/k , c1/c2= -k/-12= k/12

Given: A pair of linear equations has a infinite solution, if

a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2

k-3 /k =3/k= k/12

i ii iii

Now, the first two terms

a1/a2 = b1/b2

k-3 /k =3/k

k - 3 = 3

k = 3 + 3

k = 6

Taking the ii)and iii) terms

3/k= k/12

k² = 36

k =√36

k = 6

Hence, the value of k is 6 .
