Let’s do a first.
So to start, we need to substitute 10 into the equation, so:
a = 5 x (10 squared) / 2
Which can be simplified to
a = 5 x 100 / 2
a = 500 / 2
a = 250
Now onto b. Again, we need to substitute 10 into the equation, so:
b = (2 x (10 squared))(10 - 5) / 10 x 10
Which can be simplified to
b = (2 x 100)(10 - 5) / 10 x 10
b = 200(10 - 5) / 10 x 10
b = 200(5) / 10 x 10
b = 1000 / 10 x 10
b = 1000 / 100
b = 10
