a: \(=\dfrac{5\cdot2^{30}\cdot3^{18}-2^{29}\cdot3^{20}}{5\cdot2^{28}\cdot3^{19}-7\cdot2^{29}\cdot3^{18}}\)
\(=\dfrac{2^{29}\cdot3^{18}\left(5\cdot2-3^2\right)}{2^{28}\cdot3^{18}\left(5\cdot3-7\cdot2\right)}=2\)
b: \(=\dfrac{5^{10}\cdot7^3-5^{10}\cdot7^4}{5^9\cdot7^3+5^9\cdot7^3\cdot2^3}\)
\(=\dfrac{5^{10}\cdot7^3\left(1-7\right)}{5^9\cdot7^3\cdot9}=\dfrac{5\cdot\left(-6\right)}{9}=-\dfrac{30}{9}=-\dfrac{10}{3}\)
