Solution

GIVEN:
αx+3y=α-312x+αy=α
To find: To determine for what value of k the system of equation has no solution

We know that the system of equations

For no solution

Here,

α12=3αα-3α
Consider the following for α

α12=3αα2=12×3α2=36α=±6

Now consider the following

3αα-3α3αα(α-3)3αα2-3α6αα2α6
Hence the common value of α is − 6

Hence for α = -6 the system of equation has no solution
