Answer:
k=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x= 3
y= -2
kx-3y=12
substitute x= 3 and y= -2 in the solution,
k(3)-3(-2)=12
3k+6=12
3k=12-6=6
k=6/3
k=2

Given: x= 3 and y= -2 is a solution of the equation kx - 3y = 12.
To find: Value of k
Solution: Since x=3 and y= -2 is a solution of the equation, it means that when we put the value 3 in place of x and value -2 in place of y, the expression on the left hand side (kx-3y) should be equal to the value on the right hand side, that is, 12.
Putting x=3 and y= -2 in the equation:
k× 3 - 3×(-2) = 12
=> 3k + 6 = 12
=> 3k = 12-6
=> 3k = 6
=> k = 6/3
=> k = 2
Therefore, the value of k is 2.
