Question

Provide the value of k:
(2x-1)(kx+1)=6x^2-x-1

Answer 1

k= 6x-3/2x-1

Explanation:

Answer 2

k = 3

Explanation:

Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides.

(2x - 1)(kx + 1) ← expand using FOIL

= 2kx² + 2x - kx - 1

Compare the coefficients of the x² term on both sides

2k = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

k = 3
