Write the value of k for which the system of equations x + y – 4 = 0 and 2x + ky – 3 = 0 has no solution.

Given:

Equation 1: x + y = 4


Equation 2: 2x + ky = 3


Both the equations are in the form of :


a1x + b1y = c1 & a2x + b2y = c2 where


a1 & a2 are the coefficients of x


b1 & b2 are the coefficients of y


c1 & c2 are the constants


For the system of linear equations to have no solutions we must have


………(i)


According to the problem:


a1 = 1


a2 = 2


b1 = 1


b2 = k


c1 = 4


c2 = 3


Putting the above values in equation (i) we get:



k = 2


Also we find


The value of k for which the system of equations has no solution is k = 2
