For what value of k does the equation 6(x + 1) + 2 = 3(k5x + 1) + 3 have no solution?

k = (6/15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

6*(x + 1) + 2 = 3*(k*5*x + 1) + 3

To have no solutions, we need to have something like:

x + 7 = x + 4

where we can remove x in both sides and end with

7 = 4

So this equation is false, meaning that there is no value of x such that this equation is true, then the equation has no solutions.

First, let's try to simplify our equation:

6*(x + 1) + 2 = 3*(k*5*x + 1) + 3

6*x + 6 + 2 = 3*k*5*x + 3*1 + 3

6*x + 8 = 15*k*x + 6

if 15*k = 6, then the system clerly has no solution.

then:

k = 6/15

then we get:

6*x + 8 = (6/15)*15*x + 6

6*x + 8 = 6*x + 6

8 = 6

The system has no solutions.
