Q. Question abc=baia=ic+5A=b−cB=14C=b+aSolve for i
Simplify Equations: First, let's simplify the given equations. We have A=b−c, B=14, and C=b+a. Since B=14, we can substitute B for b in the other equations.
Express a and c: Now we have A=14−c and C=14+a. We need to find expressions for a and c in terms of A and C to substitute into the equation abc=baia=i(c+5).
Substitute into abc=baia=ic+5: From A=14−c, we can express c as c=14−A. Similarly, from C=14+a, we can express a as a=C−14.
Simplify Equation: Substitute a and c into the equation abc=baia=ic+5. We get (14)(C−14)(14−A)=(14−A)(14)(C−14)i=(14−A)(C−14)+5.
Solve for i: Simplify the equation. We get 196(C−14)−196(C−14)A=196(C−14)i−196A(C−14)i+5.
Correct Mistake: Now, let's solve for i. We can divide both sides by 196(C−14) to isolate i. We get 1−A=i−Ai+196(C−14)5.
Correct Mistake: Now, let's solve for i. We can divide both sides by 196(C−14) to isolate i. We get 1−A=i−Ai+196(C−14)5.Rearrange the terms to solve for i. We get i(1+A)=1−A+196(C−14)5.
Correct Mistake: Now, let's solve for i. We can divide both sides by 196(C−14) to isolate i. We get 1−A=i−Ai+196(C−14)5.Rearrange the terms to solve for i. We get i(1+A)=1−A+196(C−14)5.Divide both sides by (1+A) to get i=1+A1−A+196(C−14)5.
Correct Mistake: Now, let's solve for i. We can divide both sides by 196(C−14) to isolate i. We get 1−A=i−Ai+196(C−14)5.Rearrange the terms to solve for i. We get i(1+A)=1−A+196(C−14)5.Divide both sides by (1+A) to get i=1+A1−A+196(C−14)5.Now we can plug in the values for A and C to find i. But we made a mistake in the previous step; we should have simplified the equation before dividing by (1+A). Let's go back and correct that.
