(B) For a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ to have equal roots,the discriminant $D = b^2 - 4ac$ must be equal to $0$.Here,$a = 1$,$b = -2(1 + 3k)$,and $c = 7(3 + 2k)$.Setting $D = 0$:$[-2(1 + 3k)]^2 - 4(1)(7(3 + 2k)) = 0$$4(1 + 3k)^2 - 28(3 + 2k) = 0$Divide by $4$:$(1 + 3k)^2 - 7(3 + 2k) = 0$$1 + 6k + 9k^2 - 21 - 14k = 0$$9k^2 - 8k - 20 = 0$Factor the quadratic equation:$9k^2 - 18k + 10k - 20 = 0$$9k(k - 2) + 10(k - 2) = 0$$(9k + 10)(k - 2) = 0$Thus,$k = 2$ or $k = -\frac{10}{9}$.

For what values of $k$ will the equation $x^2 - 2(1 + 3k)x + 7(3 + 2k) = 0$ have equal roots?
