a: \(=\dfrac{7}{2}\left(-\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{5}{13}-\dfrac{9}{4}-\dfrac{8}{13}\right)=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot\left(-3-\dfrac{3}{13}\right)=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot\dfrac{-42}{13}=\dfrac{-147}{13}\)
b: \(=-12+\dfrac{8}{9}-\dfrac{5}{18}=\dfrac{-216}{18}+\dfrac{16}{18}-\dfrac{5}{18}=\dfrac{-205}{18}\)
c: \(=\dfrac{45}{4}-\dfrac{19}{7}-\dfrac{21}{4}=6-\dfrac{19}{7}=\dfrac{23}{7}\)
d: \(=\dfrac{-1}{4}\left(\dfrac{152}{11}+\dfrac{68}{11}\right)=\dfrac{-1}{4}\cdot20=-5\)
