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)
