What are the values of $k$ that males $x_1,x_2$ solutions to the linear system $AX=B$.
$begingroup$
Supose that $x_1$ and $x_2$ are solution to the linear system $ AX=B $ ,
where $B$ is not equal zero then $3x_1-kx_2$ is a solution also if $k = ?$
How to find the value of $A$ ?

Assuming $Aneq0$, $Ax_1=B=Ax_2implies A(x_1-x_2)=0$. So $x_1=x_2$.

@YadatiKiran: I suspect $A$ is supposed to be a matrix, in which case $A(x_1-x_2) = 0$ does not necessarily imply $x_1 = x_2$. Of course, this isn't clear from the question.

Hints: The fact that $x_1$ and $x_2$ are solutions to $AX = B$ means that $Ax_1 = B$ and $Ax_2 = B$.
In order for $3x_1-kx_2$ to be a solution to $AX=B$, we would need $A(3x_1-kx_2) = B$.
We can use linearity to simplify $A(3x_1-kx_2) = 3Ax_1-kAx_2 = cdots$.
Can you figure out what value of $k$ makes $A(3x_1-kx_2) = B$?

I think the problem given by the first two lines of the lines of the body of your post is saying that $x_1$ and $x_2$ are solutions to $AX = B$, and asking you to find a value of $k$ such that $3x_1-kx_2$ is also a solution to $AX = B$. If that's not the problem you are trying to solve, you might want to edit your question.
