Problem

Suppose $\frac{1}{20}$ is either x or y in the following system: \[\begin{cases} xy=\frac{1}{k}\\ x=ky \end{cases}\] Find the possible values of k.

Solution

Template:Incomplete If $x=\frac{1} {20}$, then $\frac{y} {20} = \frac{1} {k}$ so $ky=20$ or $ky=\frac{1} {20}$. now we get $k=\frac{20} {y}$ and $\frac{1} {20y}$
