Question 1110274: x - y + 3z = -8
2x + 3y - z = 5
3x + 2y + 2kz = -3k
For which values of k will the system have infinitely many solutions?
^ Does this mean how do I make the last equations equal to each other, so that there's an infinite number of solutions?
b) For which values of k will the system have exactly one solution?
This part I don't get. Do I try to get rid of k? Do I find a number for k that will give me one solution? And how do I find this number? I'm really confused!

Question 1110439: Jack and Jill spent two weeks touring Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. They paid $120,$200,$80, and $100 per night respectively. Their total bill was $2020. The number of days spent in NYC was the same as the sum of the days spent in Boston and D.C. They spent three times as many days in NYC as they did in Philly. How many days did they stay in each city?
a) answer question using a combination of algebra and logic.
b) answer the question again using a 4x4 system of equations.
Does this mean there's another way to do this without a system of equations? That's the only way I can think of doing it. I just know that 120B+200N+80P+100W=2020.
