begin mathsize 16px style straight x squared minus 4 straight x plus straight k equals 0............ left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis straight x squared plus kx minus 4 equals 0............ left parenthesis ii right parenthesis Both space the space equations space have space one space common space root. Let space straight b space is space the space common space root space of space the space equation space of space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space and space left parenthesis ii right parenthesis straight b squared space minus 4 straight b plus straight k equals 0............ left parenthesis iii right parenthesis straight b squared plus kb minus 4 equals 0............. left parenthesis iv right parenthesis Subtracting space left parenthesis iv right parenthesis space from space left parenthesis iii right parenthesis straight b squared space minus 4 straight b plus straight k space minus open parentheses straight b squared plus kb minus 4 space close parentheses equals 0 minus 4 straight b plus straight k minus kb plus 4 equals 0 minus straight b left parenthesis straight k plus 4 right parenthesis plus left parenthesis straight k plus 4 right parenthesis equals 0 left parenthesis straight k plus 4 right parenthesis left parenthesis 1 minus straight b right parenthesis equals 0 rightwards double arrow straight b equals 1 Put space straight b equals 1 space in space left parenthesis iii right parenthesis 1 squared space minus 4 cross times 1 plus straight k equals 0 1 minus 4 plus straight k equals 0 minus 3 plus straight k equals 0 straight k equals 3 end style
