8. $$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 3 & 1 & - 1
1 & 1 & 1
k & 3 & 6 \end{array} \right) \quad k \neq 0$$
  1. Find, in terms of \(k , \mathbf { A } ^ { - 1 }\)
  2. Determine, in simplest form in terms of \(k\), the coordinates of the point where the following planes intersect. $$\begin{array} { r } 3 x + y - z = 3
    x + y + z = 1
    k x + 3 y + 6 z = 6 \end{array}$$
