A tad curious about the order of these questions.
I am told.. see attached:

For a) Fairly straightforward. X₂ = k/2
b) it’s asking me to show X₃= 4/k …. Well, I only find X₃=2, so it would inform me that k=2 for part c)..
The issue is how do I express X₃=4/k.
I have X₃= k÷k/2....
Their solution was that X₃=2÷k/2 = 4/k, however if one unknown k=2, they must both be 2.
Wouldn't it make more sense for b and c to be the other way around? I don't know. It seems strange to know the the unknown value but only change one of the unknowns and leave the other unknown.
This is part of a engineering course I am doing.
