Question

If (1,3k) lies on $kx+4y=26,$ the value of $k$ is

___

Answer 1

If the point (1,3k) lies on the given equation, then it should satisfy the equation.

Substituting the values of x and y in the given equation:

$\Rightarrow k\left(1\right)+4\left(3k\right)=26$

$\Rightarrow 13k=26$

$\Rightarrow k=2$

Thus, the value of $k$ is 2.
