a) 2/9 - (1/20 + 2/9)
= 2/9 - 1/20 - 2/9
= (2/9 - 2/9) - 1/20
= 0 - 1/20
= -1/20
b) -3/14 + 2/13 + (-25/14) + (-15/13)
= (-3/14 - 25/14) + (2/13 - 15/13)
= -2 - 1
= -3
c) -3/11 + 11/8 - 3/8 + (-8/11)
= (-3/11 - 8/11) + (11/8 - 3/8)
= -1 + 1
= 0
d) 3/8 + (-1/4) - (7/12 - 1/6)
= 1/8 - 5/12
= -7/24
e) (1/3 + 12/67 + 13/41) - (79/67 - 28/41)
= 1/3 + 12/67 + 13/41 - 79/67 + 28/41
= 1/3 + (12/67 - 79/67) + (13/41 + 28/41)
= 1/3 - 1 + 1
= 1/3
