@baharkarakrt Assuming k ≠ 0, the equation simplifies to 2 = 4. This contradiction proves that no value of k satisfies the equation. Therefore, it has no solution.
@Mistyrose_iQ A great example of an equation where the variable “disappears.” It doesn’t mean there’s no solution—it means every valid value satisfies the equation. The only thing you must never forget is the original restriction: b is not 0, since division by zero is undefined.
