Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since (k, 3) lies on each of the lines, the point satisfies the equations.
Substitute x = k, y = 3 into each and solve for k
y = 3x + 1
3 = 3k + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
2 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )
k = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
-------------------------------------------------------
y = 4x - 2
3 = 4k - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
5 = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )
k = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
--------------------------------------------------------
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x
3 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] k ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
k = 6
---------------------------------------------------------
2x + 3y = 4
2k + 3(3) = 4
2k + 9 = 4 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
2k = - 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )
k = - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
