<s>[INST] In this problem, we need to determine the value of the variable k from the given system of equations. We can use substitution or elimination to solve for k, whichever is easier. Here are our equations:

k + 2y = 4 	...(i)
2k - 3y = 4	...(ii)

Now, let's use the elimination method. 

If we multiply equation (i) by 2, we get:
2k + 4y = 8

The equation (ii) remains the same:
2k - 3y = 4

Do you see a way to eliminate one of the variables by subtracting the equations?[/INST]
