If x ≠ 0, what is the value of k?

(1) $$\frac{3}{4x} + \frac{k}{3x} = \frac{1}{x}$$

(2) $$\frac{k}{x} = 2$$

From1:since x ≠ 0.
dividing x from both side
$$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{k}{3} = \frac{1}{}$$

one variable one equation sufficient.

from2:
two variable one equation ,insufficient.

hence A

(1) $$\frac{3}{4x} + \frac{k}{3x} = \frac{1}{x}$$

As x ≠ 0 &and can't be zero actually), then we can cancel out x

$$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{k}{3} =1$$

We have an equation with 1 unknown (K)

Sufficient

(2) $$\frac{k}{x} = 2$$

This a ratio so we can't determine value of k

insufficient
