\boxed{\begin{array}{llll} 150=40k_o+k_1\\\\ 192=54k_o+k_1 \end{array}}\qquad \stackrel{ \textit{using elimination method} }{\begin{array}{llll} -150=-40k_o-k_1\\\\ ~~ 192= ~~ 54k_o+k_1\\\cline{1-1} ~~ 42~= ~~ 14k_o+0 \end{array} }\qquad \implies 42=14k_o \\\\\\ \cfrac{42}{14}=k_o\implies \boxed{3=k_o}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{150=40(3)+k_1}
