Given (8x+3k)(9x−2)=0, the product of all solutions is (−3). Find k.

Answer :

The value of k is 36

Solution:

Given equation is:

[tex](8x+3k)(9x-2) = 0[/tex]

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

[tex]8x + 3k = 0\\\\8x = -3k\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\\\x = \frac{-3k}{8}[/tex]

Also,

[tex]9x-2=0\\\\9x = 2\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 9\\\\x = \frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Given that product of all solutions is -3

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{-3k}{8} \times \frac{2}{9} = -3\\\\\frac{-k}{12} = -3\\\\k = 3 \times 12\\\\k = 36[/tex]

Thus k is 36
