He knows he made a mistake so quickly  because he substitutes 5 for x in 3x - 7 = x/2

<h3>How did he know so quickly that he made a mistake?</h3>

The equation is given as:

3x - 7 = x/2 + 9

The solution is given as:

x = 5

To quickly know he made a mistake, we substitute 5 for x in 3x - 7 = x/2 + 9

So, we have

3 * 4 - 7 = 5/2 + 9

Evaluate

12 - 7 = 2.5 + 9

Evaluate the like terms

5 = 11.5

The above equation is false.

Hence, he knows he made a mistake so quickly  because he substitute 5 for x in 3x - 7 = x/2

Given the quadratic equation ax²-5b+4a=0, where a and b are constants has two real an equal roots,find a:b​
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax²-5bx+4a=0

Since the quadratic equation has two real root.

Then b²-4ac>0

Here a= a , b= -5b and c=4a

∴(-5b)²-4.a.4a=0

⇔25b²=16a²

⇔5b=±4a

\Leftrightarrow \frac{a}{b} =\pm\frac{5}{4}

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4

 Thanks in advance!! Will mark Brainliest!!!

The first choice is correct.
in the first function f(x)=3x-2, the smallest value is when x=-1, y=-5, the largest value is when x=0, y=-2, but it doesn't include -2 because there is no = sign. 

in the second function, the smallest value of y is when x=0, y=3, the largest value is y=13, but it doesn't include y=13
