Find the value of k that has NO possible solutions\(\begin{align*} x + y + 3z &= 10, \\ -4x + 2y + 5z &= 7, \\ kx + z &= 3 \end{align*}\)
Please help this my homework need to get it done quick
No need to show your work
LOL!!!...it would be hard to intuit this if some work weren't done !!!!
Multiply the first equation through by -2 and we have
-2x - 2y - 6z = -20 add this to the second equation and we get
-6x - z = -13 multiply this through by - 1
6x + z = 13 (1)
So..notice that if k = 6 we have
6x + z = 3 (2)
But (1) and (2) are parallel lines that never intersect.....so no solution is possible when k = 6
