Step 1
[33367611+k1615]
Matrix M is Singular So determinant of M=0 [33367611+k1615]=0
3[15×7(6×16)]+3[6×(15)(6x(11+k))]+3[16×67(11+)]=0
3[105+96]+3[90+66+6k]+3[96777k]=0
=3[11]+3[24+6k]+3[197k]=0
=3372+18k+5721k=0
90723k=0
3k=18
k=183=6
k=6

Step 1
Consider the matrix
M=[33367611+k1615]
We have that
det(M)=|33367611+k1615|=3|761615|+3|6611+k15|+3|6711+k7|=+3(105+96)+3(90+66+6k)+3(96777k)=3×(11)+3×(24+6k)+3×(197k)=3372+18k+5721k=3k18
M is singular if and only if det(M)=0. Thus M is singular if and only if 3k18=0
Since the only solutions for 3k18=0
k=183
k=6
