Question
Solve the equation
Solve for a
Solve for b
a=0a=712b3
Evaluate
a23×b2=4ab×17
Multiply the terms
a23b2=4ab×17
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
a23b2=4ab7
Rewrite the expression
a23b2=4ba7
Cross multiply
3b2×4ba=a2×7
Simplify the equation
12b3a=a2×7
Simplify the equation
12b3a=7a2
Add or subtract both sides
12b3a−7a2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
12b3a−7a2
Rewrite the expression
a×12b3−a×7a
Factor out a from the expression
a(12b3−7a)
a(12b3−7a)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
a=012b3−7a=0
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
12b3−7a=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
−7a=0−12b3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−7a=−12b3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
7a=12b3
Divide both sides
77a=712b3
Divide the numbers
a=712b3
a=0a=712b3
