### Determine the value(s) of \( k \) such that the system of linear equations has the indicated number of solutions. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

**Infinitely many solutions**

\[ 
\begin{aligned} 
16x + ky &= 20 \\ 
kx + y &= -5 
\end{aligned} 
\]

\[ k = [ \text{input box: 4, -4 } ] \quad \textcolor{red}{\text{X}} \]

### Explanation:

The problem asks for the value(s) of \( k \) that result in the system of linear equations having infinitely many solutions. The given system of equations is:

1. \( 16x + ky = 20 \)
2. \( kx + y = -5 \)

To have infinitely many solutions, the system of linear equations needs to be dependent, meaning one equation must be a scalar multiple of the other. 

From the calculations, it is found that the correct values of \( k \) that lead to infinitely many solutions are \(-4\) and \(-\frac{125}{16}\). Therefore, the value(s) entered in the input box are incorrect.

### Solving a System of Equations by Substitution

**Objective:**
Solve the system of equations by letting \( A = \frac{1}{x} \) and \( B = \frac{1}{y} \). If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If the system has an infinite number of solutions, set \( y = t \) and solve for \( x \) in terms of \( t \).

**System of Equations:**

\[
\frac{12}{x} - \frac{12}{y} = 7
\]

\[
\frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{y} = 0
\]

**Solution Process:**

1. **Transform Variables:**
   - Let \( A = \frac{1}{x} \)
   - Let \( B = \frac{1}{y} \)

2. **Substitute:**
   - Rewrite the system using \( A \) and \( B \):

\[
12A - 12B = 7
\]

\[
4A + 3B = 0
\]

3. **Solve the Transformed System:**
   
   - The solution involves solving the linear equations for \( A \) and \( B \):
   
4. **Back-Substitute:**
   - Once \( A \) and \( B \) are found, convert them back to \( x \) and \( y \) using \( x = \frac{1}{A} \) and \( y = \frac{1}{B} \).

**Example Solution:**

If we go through the process and derive the following solution:
   
\[
(x, y) = \left( \frac{21}{7}, -4 \right)
\]

**Final Answer:**

However, in this case, the provided solution box with the value \( \left( \frac{21}{7}, -4 \right) \) is marked with a red 'X', indicating that the solution is incorrect.

**Conclusion:**

Upon reviewing the problem solving steps and the substitution process, double-checking the steps or re-sloving using another method may be required to find the correct solution. If the system has no solution despite multiple verification attempts, it should be marked as "NO SOLUTION."
