\(a)\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{3}{17}+\dfrac{4}{18}+21\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{3}{17}+\dfrac{2}{9}+21\)
\(=\dfrac{109}{136}+\dfrac{191}{9}\)
\(=\dfrac{26957}{1224}\)
\(b)\dfrac{25}{20}-\dfrac{18}{13}+5+\dfrac{5}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{18}{13}+5+\dfrac{5}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{-7}{52}+\dfrac{70}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{21}{4}\)
