Answer:

3x + y = 17 --------(1)

2x + y = 12 ---------(2)

from (1) : y = 17 - 3x.

Substitute y in (2)

2x + (17 -3x) = 12

2x + 17 -3x = 12

-x = 12 - 17

-x = -5

x = 5

Substitute x in (1)

3(5) + y = 17

15 + y = 17

y = 17 -15

y = 2

Answer : x = 5, y = 2

For what values of k the relation R:{(k2 , 5), (3k, 6)} is not a function?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$k=0$ and $k=3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To this relation be a function, the horizontal coordinates can't be equal. So, let's find the value of $k$ that makes those coordinates equal.

$k^{2}=3k\\ k^{2}-3k=0\\k(k-3)=0\\$

Using the null factor property, we have

$k=0\\k-3=0 \implies k=3$

Therefore, the given relation is not a function when $k=0$ and $k=3$ .
