Find the value of k for which each of the following systems of linear equations has an infinite number of solutions:
kx + 3y = (2k + 1),
2(k + 1)x + 9y = (7k + 1).
Answer :
Given: kx + 3y = (2k + 1) – eq 1
2(k + 1)x + 9y = (7k + 1) – eq 2
Here,
a1 = k, b1 = 3, c1 = - (2k + 1)
a2 = 2(k + 1) , b2 = 9 , c2 = - (7k + 1)
Given that system of equations has infinitely many solution
∴ =
=
=
=
Here,
=
9k = 6×(k + 1)
9k = 6k + 6
9K – 6k = 6
3k = 6
K =
K = 2
∴ k = 2
