If a * b = 3a - 2b.
Find (4*2)*7 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
EXPLAIN ME PLEASE.

Please solve this problem.

If √a + √b- √c = 0 Then find (a+b-c)^2.

Please verify this, is it right or wrong?

My method is
As a^2+b^2=29
(a+b)(a-b)=29----> 1
Given a-b=3----> 2

Put 2 in 1
(a+b)3=29----> 3
(a+b)=29/3
(a+b)=9.6666----> 4
Putting 4 in 3
9.6666 * 3=29.

Thus it satisfies the equation,
29 = 29.

If a+b+c=0 then {(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)^2} / {(a^2 * b^2) + (b^2 * c^2) + (c^2 * a^2)}.
