For the following system of equation determine the value of $k$ for which the given system of equations has unique solution. $kx+3y=( k-3)$ and $12x+ky=k$.
Given: The system of equations: $kx+3y=( k-3)$ and $12x+ky=k$.
To do: To find the value of $k$ for which the given system of equations has a unique solution.
Solution:
The given system of equations: $kx+3y=(k-3)$
$\Rightarrow kx+3y-(k-3)=0\ .....( i)$
$12x+ky=k$
$\Rightarrow 12x+ky-k=0\ ..... ( ii)$
Here, $a_1=k,\ b_1= 3,\ c_1=-(k-3)$ and $a_2=12,\ b_2=k,\ c_2=-k$
For a unique solution, we must have:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2}≠\frac{b_1}{b_2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{k}{12}≠\frac{3}{k}$
$\Rightarrow k^2≠36$
$\Rightarrow k≠\pm\sqrt{36}$
$\Rightarrow k≠\pm 6$
Thus, for all real values of $k$, other than $\pm 6$, the given system of equations will have a unique solution.
