Question
3x+8=kx+8
In the given equation, k is a constant. If the equation has exactly one solution, which of the following could NOT be the value of k?
- 0
- 1
- 3
- 8
The correct answer is: 3
3x + 8 = kx + 8
Equation to have one and only one solution, the x – term must not be eliminated.
It gets eliminated when k = 3.
