The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( c \) for which the pair of equations \( cx - y = 2 \) and \( 6x - 2y = 3 \) will have infinitely many solutions, we will use the condition for infinitely many solutions in a system of linear equations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the equations in standard form:** - The first equation is given as \( cx - y = 2 \). We can rewrite it as: \[ cx - y - 2 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] - The second equation is \( 6x - 2y = 3 \). We can rewrite it as: \[ 6x - 2y - 3 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 2. **Identify coefficients:** - From Equation 1, we have: - \( a_1 = c \) - \( b_1 = -1 \) - \( c_1 = -2 \) - From Equation 2, we have: - \( a_2 = 6 \) - \( b_2 = -2 \) - \( c_2 = -3 \) 3. **Set up the condition for infinitely many solutions:** - The condition for infinitely many solutions is: \[ \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2} \] - Substituting the values we identified: \[ \frac{c}{6} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{-2}{-3} \] 4. **Solve the first equality:** - From \( \frac{c}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ c = 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 3 \] 5. **Solve the second equality:** - From \( \frac{c}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \): \[ 3c = 2 \cdot 6 \] \[ 3c = 12 \implies c = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \] 6. **Conclusion:** - We found two values for \( c \): \( c = 3 \) and \( c = 4 \). However, for the equations to have infinitely many solutions, both conditions must hold true simultaneously, which is not possible. Therefore, there is no single value of \( c \) for which the equations have infinitely many solutions. ### Final Answer: The value of \( c \) for which the pair of equations will have infinitely many solutions is **none**.
