If 4x + ky = 26 and 4x - 3y = 2 have solution y = 4, what is k?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3

This question applies substitution to simultaneous linear equations containing an unknown coefficient. The common solution has y = 4. Substitute this value into the second equation: 4x - 3(4) = 2, giving 4x - 12 = 2 and therefore x = 7/2. Use x = 7/2 and y = 4 in the first equation: 4(7/2) + 4k = 26. Hence 14 + 4k = 26, so 4k = 12 and k = 3. Verification is important: the second equation gives 14 - 12 = 2, while the first gives 14 + 3(4) = 26. Therefore option B is correct. If k were 2, 4, or 5, the first equation would have left side 22, 30, or 34, respectively, so those distractors cannot satisfy the stated common solution.
