Math Problem Statement
In an acute triangle ABC, let H be the orthocentre and D be the foot of the altitude from A. The circumcircle of triangle BHC intersects AC at E ≠ Cand AB at F ≠B. If BD = 3, CD = 7 and AH/HD=5/7, the area of triangle AEF can be expressed as a/b where a and b are relatively prime positive integers. Compute a - 5b.
