Answer:

C: k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eq 1: [tex]x^{2}[/tex]-6x+9=0

Eq 2: x+k=1

Solve Eq 2 for x:

x=1-k

Sub x into Eq 1:

[tex](1-k)^{2}[/tex]-6(1-k)+9=0

Solve for k:

[tex]k^{2}[/tex]-2k+1-6+6k+9=0

[tex]k^{2}[/tex]+4k+4=0

Factor:

[tex](k+2)^{2}[/tex]=0

Square root both sides:

k+2=0

k=-2
