    k=12/5=2.4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's get rid of the variable y

    Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second by 3

    5kx-15y=20

    12x-15y=60

    Now subtract from equation (2) / equation (1) - > 12x-5kx=40

    x (12-5k) = 40 This equation is always solvable except if 12-5k=0, and this happens if k=12/5=2.4
