Question

Answer the following question:

Find the value of k, if the following equations are consistent:

3x + y − 2 = 0 kx + 2y − 3 = 0 and 2x − y = 3

Sum

Solution

Given equations are
3x + y − 2 = 0,

kx + 2y − 3 = 0,

2x − y = 3, i.e., 2x − y − 3 = 0.

Since these equations are consistent,

`|(3, 1, -2),("k", 2, -3),(2, -1, -3)|` = 0

∴ 3(–6 – 3) –1(–3k + 6) –2(–k – 4) = 0

∴ 3(–9) – 1(–3k + 6) – 2(– k – 4) = 0

∴ –27 + 3k – 6 + 2k + 8 = 0

∴ 5k – 25 = 0

∴ k = `25/5`

 = 5
