Answer:
- No solution for x, when k = 1
- x = 68/(k - 1), when k≠ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
- kx – 17 = 51 + x, where k = 1,
Solve for x:
- 1*x - 17 = 51 + x
- x - 17 = x + 51
- x - x = 51 + 17
- 0 = 68,
Incorrect equation, no solution for x when k=1
Solving for x when k ≠ 1
- kx - 17 = 51 + x
- kx - x = 51 + 17
- x(k - 1) = 68
- x = 68/(k - 1)
