Multiplying One Equation to Solve Systems

Question 10 • (AG Q3) Math 8: 25-26 (JTurner)

Which values of k would cause this system of equations to have no solution? Check all that apply.6x + 4y = 14,3x + 2y = k

Answer
A
–2
B
5
C
7
D
10
E
21

Explanation

Divide the first equation, 6x + 4y = 14, by 2 to get 3x + 2y = 7. The second equation has the same left side, so the system has a solution only when k = 7. For any other listed value of k, the equations have identical left sides but different right sides, making them inconsistent. Thus the values are –2, 5, 10, and 21.
